I just finished reading a wonderful blog about the insects, snakes and venimus creatures in the area we will be living. Compiled with the stress I feel right now to relocate my family of 7 out of the country in 16 days, I'm about to change my mind. {Did I just write that outload???} I will remind myself in the morning that this is a dream my sweetheart and I have and it will all work out. Everything is better in the morning, right???
This is called a Hercules Beetle. They are huge and make great pets.
I have to remember Hercules Beetle good. Ants o.k. Scorpions won't kill. Caterpillars very bad! Snakes, just stay away from them!!

k, now i'm worried for you too. please tell paige not to touch any snakes. i won't blame you if you change your mind. i hate bugs and creatures like that. i thought scorpions DO kill (???) just pray real hard every day!
Some scorpions do kill, but not in Costa Rica. They sting but it's just like a bee.
I was in a panic last night. I feel much better today. Whew! I have already had a talk about snakes with the kids. :)
Dude. Shawna. I would have the willies the entire time I lived down there, thinking that some bug will be crawling up my leg at any moment. You are awesome and so much more adventurous than I am, Good Luck!!
What kind of catepillars are dangerous? That's crazy, and that Hercules Beetle-NASTY.
Glad you are better today, a good nights rest always seems to help.
I definitely would be havng second thougts after seeing that beetle. HOLY COW!!!
You are one adventurous woman.

Don't let people scare you, it's not that "buggy".
When it rains though, it pours and the rain is coming early this year. Teri in Hermosa
