Costa Rica has some 1250 species of butterflies and more than 8000 species of moths -- and we're seeing big numbers of them on our current tour. Perhaps the country's drought has something to do with that (maybe fewer are succumbing to fungal infections), or perhaps the fact that we're having lots of sunny days this year just means they're flying more. Whatever the reason, we're certainly reveling in the subtle and the splashy, the large and the small, the cooperative (and photographed) and the flighty (and seen only).
