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.

    This is a Diactor Bilineatus, it is really beautiful, but it is a pest in the cultivation of passion fruit. Here in Brazil we call this insect "Passion fruit Bedbug".

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