I have two lousy shots here. I am not sure what type of insect this is. It measured about 2" long. This is possibly a Pazius obtusas.
Tropical humid forest in SW Costa Rica
Family bittacidae
esta es mejor, yo lo clasificaría como Pazius obtusus por que es el unico de este genero que se encuentra en Costa Rica
