Costa Rican Biodiversity

Since my old filmloops are no longer working I just created a new photo album called Costa Rican Biodiversity which includes the variety of creatures that I saw while living in Costa Rica:

Here is my photo album of Costa Rican Butterflies and Moths:

These are baby hummingbirds who were nested right outside my casita:

Additionally, here is the baby horse that was born right down the street:

Costa Rican Butterflies and Moths FilmLoop 2

My first FilmLoop of Costa Rican Butterflies and Moths has been such a success, I created a second one with 30 new images.  I think I like this one better than the first.  What do you think?

The entire photo album (138+ images) is available from the right column on My Pura Vida. 

Thanks to Filmloop Blog

Thanks to the Filmloop blog for listing my site in their Blogs We Love posting this week.  I have received a lot of visitors from it and I really appreciate it.  I first learned about Filmloop on Guy Kawasaki's site and it has been a lot of fun creating loops for my two sites.  By the way, I will have another version of Costa Rica Butterflies and Moths coming soon!  I created it today, but want to wait until the Costa Rican Flora Filmloop falls off the homepage which should be in another week or two. 

FilmLoop of Costa Rican Butterflies and Moths

I created a FilmLoop of a few of the butterflies and moths that have visited my casita in Costa Rica over the past year.  If you would like to see more, I have over 100 images in the Costa Rican butterflies and moths photo album on My Pura Vida.  Enjoy...

It took me two days to get a good photo of this butterfly that got caught in my porch.  He was up on the roof and with the sun coming through the lighting was not right.  Today he finally came to a place I could get a better picture.  I was even more surprised to find that the outside of his wings were black and a bright iridescent blue.  I was able to catch him and set him free so he could go find food outside.  More Costa Rican Butterflies
