Heres Danny, now 13 years old with a freshly caught canclo. Remember that these beasts are good, seeing that they eat scorpions. I have written about the canclo’s in earlier entries. You will see insects while visiting Yelapa but few will bother you.
The other night we watched this spider attack and eat a grasshopper. These spiders are very common here in Yelapa. they are very large and flat and also fast. Anyone know what type of spider they are?
