Bugs in the Backyard - Costa Rica

First we see a dead bat that hit our fan, then a scorpion, some strange bugs, unknown, mud wasp-they make mud tunnels and capture and drug spiders for later munching (this one is rescuing the spiders after I wreaked his tunnel, and look out for the beetle with the headlights. WOW!

Here in England I've seen that wasp a few times

(the one at the end of the vid)

if it's one in the same I'd say it's about an inch long, and doesanybody know what that wasp is doing on top of the blue draws

This is a mud wasp. They make tunnels of mud and capture a certain type of spider which they drug into a stupor. They later use them for food and then abandon the tunnel. After I disturbed the tunnel, the wasp was rescuing his food (in their drugged out state) and moving them to another tunnel.

that one caterpillar that you are touching with the pen is one of the most poisonous caterpillars out there. its called the southern flannel moth caterpillar.

Damn, I wanna go there! Insects are my hobby. Judging by how many spiders that wasp collected she's starting up a good size family. I had a female pet mantis for a while. The girls can live a long time if they don't mate. The caterpillar's kind of cute. Looks almost like the creature from The Adam's Family. LOL! Geckos, bats, frogs -- sounds like my kind of place.

That was awesome, we just returned from CR and saw many of the same bugs, but didn't document them nearly so artistically

holy crap i neva heard of dat bug man thats crazy,fur that stings thanks!

[Passing4human]

It's a moth larva. There's a very similar one in Texas, known locally as an asp. The "fur" will sting you if you touch it.
