Miles holding a tarantula.
Name sign for the Galapagos tortoise at the beach resort.
This is the communal web of the neotropical colonial spider. Each spider defends and feeds from its own section of the web. At first, I thought they were baby spiders. But they are full grown, and can build really large webs that covered large sections of the trail.
This forest dragon (Enyaloides microlepsis) was my first major find at Lalo Loor. I found him sleeping on a branch. They are also known as red-eyed dwarf iguanas, but I prefer the name forest dragon.
HereĀ“s a better look at the orange dewlap on the Anolis bitectus.
I got some great photos of this brown vine snake (Oxybelis aeneus) because it was aggressive and acted like it wanted to strike us or our cameras. It puffed up and opened its mouth to try to make itself look bigger.
Paul with tarantula on his face.
JP saw this pauraque (Nyctidromis albicollis) nesting on the ground, protecting one small egg.
