A Tarantula Wasp


We went on a beautiful hike in the Childrens Cloud Forest with a bunch of friends. It was a very steep trail with a beautiful "mirador" or overlook. We stopped to enjoy the view and a snack. While we were there we found this beautiful and dangerous wasp. It is called a Tarantula Wasp because it finds a tarantula and lays its eggs on the spider. When the eggs hatch they eat the tarantula. We also saw a beautiful green lizard but it hid in a log before we could take a picture. We heard lots of Bellbirds in the woods but it was really hard to see them!
