We stayed at a hotel called Hacienda de Guachepelin near the National Park Rincon de la Vieja. It rained hard in the early evening. When we came out of our room to go to dinner, we saw quite a few of these very large frogs. This one was right in front of our room door. Good thing I didn't step on him or we both would have been frightened to death!
There were several of them near a street lamp along the sidewalk. We think they were waiting to catch the bugs that were attracted by the light.
Eyes glowing in the dark. The tiny frogs here are supposed to be poisonous. These were huge ones and I don't know if they are poisonous too or not.
When we ate dinner, we sat on a covered deck outside. We could hear the serenade of these big frogs. It was a different sound than the one we usually try to imitate as a frog sound, and was very loud and interesting. You can see that the grass is wet, and there was a little pond near the deck. I think they like to be wet.
This is dark, but it is one of those owl butterflies that I have shown before. This one did fly away and showed the pretty neon blue on the other side of it's wings but you only see a flash of the blue as they are off so fast getting away.
A large lizzard with pretty bright green stripes on it's sides and under belly.
We saw several of these lizards.
A green lizzard
With a particularly long tail.
A serpentine looking lizzard. He kind of looks like a snake, glad he wasn't one.
