We went for a night walk in Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary.  These wolf spiders were everywhere.  We also saw a couple of species of tarantula so the hike was not for the arachnophobic!

A mayan coralsnake – one of North America’s most venomous  snakes.  They are also very docile though and this one just quickly moved across the path and in to the jungle.

This red coffee snake is completely non-venomous, but uses its similar colour scheme to the coral snake to dissuade predators.

Despite its purple hue, this is a slender brown scorpion.
