Night Walk with an Entomologist! The only insect-specialized tour in the La Fortuna area.
Experience the magic of the jungle after dark on a night walk like no other.
As the sun sets and darkness envelops the forest, a hidden world of nocturnal wonders comes alive. Marvel at the bioluminescent glow of fireflies, the intricate web-spinning artistry of orb-weaver spiders, and the camouflaged beauty of leaf-mimic katydids. Your expert guide will take you through this magical environment, sharing insights about these creatures and their vital roles in the ecosystem.
During the walk, you might also encounter some of Costa Rica's most common nocturnal species, such as red-eyed tree frogs, glass frogs, cane toads, stick insects, whip scorpions, and even snakes like the cat-eyed snake. These creatures, along with the insects, create a symphony of life that showcases the unique biodiversity of the tropical forest.
Tropical forests boast the highest insect diversity on earth, and their survival adaptations are truly remarkable. Did you know that some moths warn bats of their toxicity by emitting ultrasonic squeaks from their genitals? Or that thousands of wasp species reproduce by laying eggs inside the bodies of other creatures?
Join us to explore this endlessly fascinating world of insects, spiders, and other creepy-crawlies.
