We were in Chile to look at birds, but I'd like to go back to focus on the ground--insects, arachnids, plants, lizards... All amazing!

There was also this smaller but very handsome critter, which was not interested in the phone or my fingers and just wanted to go about its day.

I think I must have bigged it up in my memory, but it was quite hefty! Not the best pic but it was quite intrigued by the phone and/or my fingers, so it was all a bit hurried.

OMG! Fantastic.
I encountered the biggest damned beetle I have ever seen in Chile. Also the tarantulas -- just wandering around, chilling. (Them, not me. I was not chilling. I was frantically taking pics and vids as if they were on the red carpet.)
