We found this pretty butterfly on our own without the guide's help so I don't know what it is called.
It was irridescent blue like the Blue Morpho but was quite a bit smaller.
Just glad he would sit still for a few photos.
The guide found this lizard in a tree and we were able to take pictures through his telescope lens.
This guy was just on the ground close to where we were.
Kind of prehistoric looking iguana. He seemed interested in us but would scurry away if we got too close.
A cute white bat on the underside of a palm frond.
The same bat through the telescope lens. We always think bats are asleep, but he is obviously looking at us.
This is an egg sack of tiny green frogs. In the rainy season, which is right now, there are large puddles of water under where these egg sacks are. When the frogs hatch, they just fall off into the water and so are able to survive. How did the mother know exactly where to lay the eggs?
This is a large frog in the area where we saw the egg sack, but the guide said this is a different kind of frog, a lot bigger.
Another lizard. This one had lots of pretty green coloring on his underside and on his feet.
We did see some Capuchin monkeys. But they weren't cooperating with me taking their pictures. My camera doesn't do action shots and the monkeys wouldn't sit still for a second. You can see that there is a monkey in the picture, just not a very good shot.
Same here, this was a cute baby Capuchin. But the picture is blurry and he didn't give me another chance. The Capuchins we saw the first time we went to Manuel Antonio were used to people and seemed to pose on purpose to get their pictures taken, not so these. But it was fun to see them.

Beautiful pictures, Mom! I've seen nature shows about how the frogs lay their eggs out of the water to protect them from preditors. Very cool.
