My husband and I just spent 5 months volunteering around South America. We volunteered in 4 different organizations from Costa Rica, to Ecuador, and Brazil. We saw so many incredible things every single day, it really blew my mind!

I have always loved animals and I knew there was amazing biodiversity in the world, but getting to experience it first hand was such an incredible experience! On an almost daily basis, I would exclaim "Oh my goodness!" out of shock and excitement at what incredible things I had stumbled upon in the jungle! I have been recording videos throughout our whole trip, and you can see them on my Youtube channel below.

    I see these lovely labyrinth winged beauties regularly here in San Gerardo De Rivas. I haven't identified their name yet, but here is what they look like with their wings open. Beautiful! So many cool and unique creatures here in Costa Rica! <3 IMG_1372-5...4c50ab.jpg IMG_1372-5b21b7c4c50ab.jpg

    We have flightless wasps in the US commonly known as "cow killer ants" or "velvet ants".
