Wildlife in Costa Rica

Here are just a few of the wildlife that we see on a daily basis here is Costa Rica.  I think it is one of my favorite parts about living here....

This is our most famous friend that was found outside of our house...yes, a tarantula

One variety of the many flowers of Costa Rica.

Trying to find out the names of all the flowers is impossible--too many that I have never seen before!

Elephant ear plants as big as my son!

My favorite and they are everywhere!

Banana trees everywhere

Emme and her butterflies

Don't know, different but interesting looking

This butterfly has see through wings!

One of the many variety of trees, plants, etc.

Roses grow everywhere here too--these are on our campus at school.

This was the friend that was trying to shower with me...

Hermit crab from Rincon (South of San Jose)

Here is a itty bitty crab

Flowers from the mountain side of the 3 crosses

One of the many strange bugs in and around our house

Leyton and a baby preying Mantis that he found

Another friend in the laundry basket

We have a duck pond within walking distance of our house at Parque Okayama

Our friend Baillie and an iguana

There are so many more pictures of iguana, birds, and flowers and trees that it is too hard to show you them all, but the plants, trees, animals and flowers are not like any we have in Kentucky or Indiana.

If anyone wants to experience it for yourself, you always have a place to stay!

29 Then God said, "I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it.  They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And so it was. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.  And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.  Genesis 1:29-31
