Thanks Karen! I'm not sure what happened w/my comment at posting, Autocorrect sometimes has a way of making up it's own mind. I thought I had typed; small pale butterfly ... at a field perimeter. :)
It's a butterfly of some kind. Moths don't have clubbed antennae. :)
Beautiful snake! It looks like some kind of racer / garter / queen snake from the Colubridae family. There aren't a lot of good photo ID based sites for snakes form South America, the best match I could find was from a Venezuelan tourism site:
Striped Queen Snake

Hard to tell the genus and species w/out habitat information and a better picture. :) Lots of crayfish!
Hard to tell from the lighting in the picture, but it's some kind of Flameback woodpecker.

Some kind of little wall spider. Cool little guy.
This guy has a very dark beak, but I think it may just be the lighting. (Laughing gulls have red beaks) but his markings are that of a laughing gull.
