 show-window-insects by RoyJava
Daddy-long-legs are NOT harmful. Millipedes don't hurt people. And dragon-flies can grow very large so they woo the humans. Praying mantids look beautifully green, still are true predators. Walking sticks are exactly what they look like. And bees aren't that "attack-people!".
I guess I donot have to explain more ... See the insects on the picture; they have been found around the Hotel Villa Caletas, caught, prepared and collected in this glas show-window near the hotel info-desk. Though been raised near the jungle in Papua New Guinea, these insects shiver me because of their seize. You better be prepared ...

If you rent a car, do not leave anything in it if you get out for sightseeing or for the night. Unattended cars are fair game it seems. Make sure you lock the doors and the ignition.
Most come with extra locks attached. Leave a Comment

In Costa Rica there are good roads, bad roads and very bad roads. I like to think that we drove on all of them and that there are no worse roads than some of the ones we drove on. If you have a car and you are the driver, make sure you feel comfortable driving a stick car on narrow roads, with lots of sharp turns. Do not attempt to pass the vehicle in front of you unless you have really good visibility on the opposite direction traffic. We have seen lots of cars in the ditch because the driver attempted to pass the vehicle in front and lost control of the car while doing it.
Another challenge are the narrow bridges that you encounter while driving. They are wide enough to accommodate just 1 car, so when you come close to the bridge you have to make sure there is no other car coming from the opposite direction.
