We went on a walk at night to hunt for nocturnal critters. This is mostly going to be more creepy crawlies in case you haven’t guessed.
The stick bugs are huge.
Many of the crickets had antenna much longer than their bodies.
This is a stingless scorpion. It is an arthropod between spiders and scorpions.
The butterflies were sleeping. This is the only time we saw them landed in the amazon. They flutter around all day without rest.
This is a grasshopper that just finished shedding its exoskeleton.
The leafcutter ants were really active at night. I traced one of their trails for 20m before both ends disappeared too deeply into the jungle to follow.
They were moving pretty fast.
And here’s the tarantula you’ve all been waiting for. He’s just a baby. We didn’t see any big ones.
