Walker's Moth (Sosxetra grata), is a distinctive, hairy noctuid moth found in Central and South American cloud forests (Costa Rica to Peru/Brazil). The moth possesses unusual, thick tufts of hair that are not just for warmth; they appear to sense vibrations in the air, alerting the moth to predators or changes in airflow. It can fly in the chilly nights due to the ability to change its body temperature.

Upper Amazon tree frog (Dendropsophus bifurcus), often called the "small clown frog", is a species of frog found in the upper Amazon Basin of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Their name "small clown frog" is owed to distinct white or orange stripes around their head and front legs, giving them a colorful, clown-like appearance. These frogs are opportunistic breeders that call throughout the rainy season. The tadpoles have bodies which look like violins.
