From Colon, we rode a bus to the Gamboa Rain Forest Reserve which has displays of butterflies, frogs and sloths along with a tram that ends at a tall, ~10 story observation tower.
Some pics of the orange/black butterfly, but I was unable to get posing pics of the blue butterfly due to the rushed schedule.
Launch pics of a red/orange bird
Some pics of the Panama canal from the observation tower
Flower pics
Red frog pics (poisonous!). I was unable to get pics of the black/green or blue frogs
A few two-toed sloth pics
A non-poisonous snake
Ants and termites build nests on trees since the heavy rainfall would
wash away underground nests. In this pic of light brown ant nests, there is also a snake
in the lower left corner near one of the ant nests A dark-brown/blackish termite nest. Note the trail strands above and below the nest.
