We found a stunning female specimen of the giant red-winged grasshopper (Tropidacris cristata) in Guanacaste, Costa Rica! 🌿

This impressive species is one of the largest grasshoppers in the world, with females growing up to 15 cm (6 inches) in length. 🦗 Its striking red wings become especially vivid when it takes flight, creating a memorable sight against the green backdrop of the forest. Despite its size, this grasshopper is a graceful flyer, able to cover short distances with surprising agility.

In Costa Rica, Tropidacris cristata can often be found in the dry forests of Guanacaste, where its camouflage and large wings protect it from predators. It feeds primarily on vegetation but plays a fascinating role in the local ecosystem.

Have you ever spotted one of these giants in the wild? 🌱✨

Treehoppers are small, sap-sucking insects that feed on plant fluids. As they feed, they excrete a sugary substance called honeydew. Melipona bees have adapted to utilize this honeydew as a food source.

The bees collect the honeydew from the treehoppers and bring it back to their hive as an additional source of nutrition.

This relationship is an example of mutualism, where both species benefit. The treehoppers gain protection from predators, as the presence of the bees deters them, while the bees get an accessible source of carbohydrates. This interaction showcases the complex and interdependent relationships in tropical ecosystems, highlighting the adaptive behaviors of Melipona bees in their natural habitat.

Meet the Bradypus variegatus, or the three-toed sloth!

These fascinating creatures are known for their slow-moving lifestyle, but did you know they have a unique relationship with algae?
Their slow digestion allows algae to grow on their fur, creating a mini ecosystem! This isn't just a hitchhiker though, the algae provides nutrients to the sloth and helps camouflage them in the rainforest.

This snake is Ninia maculata, also known as the coffee snake, is a beautiful non-venomous snake found in Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras. It is believed to be present in Guatemala and possibly El Salvador as well.

The Ninia maculata is a ground-dwelling snake that primarily feeds on earthworms and slugs. It is nocturnal and is often found on the floor of low-shade cocoa, coffee and other plantations.

When threatened, the Ninia maculata can mimic being dead, sticking out its tongue and twisting its body.

It is an oviparous species, meaning it lays oval-shaped, white eggs.
