There are thousands upon thousands of species of invertebrates, mostly insects, at La Selva, ranging from the ordinary to the unbelievable. Some look like they were simply manufactured by some eccentric person who wanted to make something completely different. Here is a taste of what is there: what you will see largely depends on how hard you look and how many different places you look.
