Agalychnis tree frogs are camouflaged green and nearly invisible during the day, but at night they can be seen hunting in the forest. Photographed along a trail at Caves Branch Lodge.

An Isabella's longwing (Heliconiinae: Eueides isabella) poses for a wide-angle photograph at the Green Hills Butterfly Ranch.
Caves Branch River runs just in front of the lodge and botanical garden. It's picturesque, sure, and a lovely spot for a swim, but the river is also a great source of aquatic insects for our workshop.
Cecropia trumpet trees are common along roadsides and disturbed habitats. Their stems house colonies of fierce Azteca ants that protect the tree in exchange for room & board.
The karst limestone formations of the region mean a distinctly craggy topography and endless caves, some of which we'll visit to photograph unique cave invertebrates. This is the view from a Caves Branch Tree House at dusk.
Our basic accommodation for BugShot will be the Suites. These clean, well-appointed cabins can each hold 4 people with a common sitting area and front veranda. As will all lodging, the suites are surrounded by forest and the walls are screened.
If you need more privacy than in the suites, you can book one of Caves Branch's bungalows.
Caves Branch offers several levels of accommodation, the most luxurious being the Tree Houses. Here you'll enjoy king-sized beds, lovely screened patios, and a hot tub, all up in the trees. Tree Houses are pricey, sure, but that's only because their deserved reputation as the most unique luxury rooms in all of Belize has them booked out months in advance. Our recommendation: get one if you can!
