Leaf cutter ant on the concrete and stone walkway at the Villa Paraiso Hotel on Ometepe Island. This was still early in the morning so there was low risk of harm from pedestrians.

Alongside the path while out hunting birds to photograph, we happened upon this butterfly close enough to photograph. It stood on a leaf full of holes that resulted from caterpillars munching underneath.

Seen from the restaurant alongside the town's beach, a man walked his two great dane dogs past a man walking the other way. That second man appeared oblivious because he was to wrapped up in texting.
