The main aims of this site are to provide a species list and photographic record of the invertebrates (as well as some vertebrates and flora) found at La Suerte Field Station, Costa Rica,
It aims to show the wealth of invertebrates found within a localised area and, it is hoped, aid with future Biogeographical studies.
