Yes, really. Didn't see a one. We were in both countries at roughly the same time(Christmas holiday)
Really? they are quite common here
I saw a ton of these in Belize last year, but none in Costa Rica the year before.
Thank you all
yep, firefly
I agree with Cindy. Looks like a firefly to me too.
Nice Firefly!
