  A critter that's entirely new to me: long-eared owls. We spent a long time not seeing them and then, once we saw them, a long time laughing at their fashion choices. #owl #longearedowl #birdphotography

  First look at a sun bittern! It gave us a few glimpses of its wings before settling down to its meal. #bird

  The two prongs on the back of this spider shimmer as it walks so that from any distance it looks like a fly or a bee with wings. Very weird mimicry! Photo taken in foothill jungle in northern Costa Rica. #spider

  Costa Rican immigrant geckos. I did see one native gecko last week (a yellow-headed) but didn't manage to get a photo. One of my greatest complaints about living in Minnesota is the lack of lizards. My MN house is so, so full of beetles, even in February! #gecko

  It's early spring which means my house is 2.5% asian beetles by weight.

  Urchins look boring from a distance but up close they're super busy. Pseudoboletia sp.
