Life is pure adventure - if you let it. Imagine you climb rainforest trees collecting data, taking photos. To do that you travel to cool places. Yeah, this is how I imagine being biologist and nature photographer.
Tarantula enthusiasts distinguish among terrestrial and arboreal tarantulas. But no one knew how high the tree dwelling species may live. Put simply: no one climbed trees or used other canopy access techniques to study these cool arachnids high up in the tree crowns. I took the challenge in the rainforests of both #CostaRica and #Ecuador. And the rainforests were so kind to show me some of their amazing secrets regarding tarantulas, not only in their treetops. Some of them I share here with you guys. Enjoy and see how high I have found tarantulas.
