I love these pictures! Man, almost like the Amazon there.

One of my favorites is the mantis and sphynx moth chilling together.

Wow, Rene- what an incredible assortment of creatures! Thanks esp. for posting the myriapods, amphlygids, uropygids and what is probably the strangest looking slug(?) I've ever seen.

Niiice.. Rather unfortunate that the rainforest there is almost gone. Were you able to make it to any primary forest or just secondary growth/plantations?
