Yep, that is a cockroach. They share our house with us... and every other house in Nicaragua. They are pretty much everywhere.
Cuddly panda bear at the zoo or cute dog nextdoor?... you decide. 
Caballo (Horse). The other form of transportation besides bikes.
Alex and his GIGAN TIC Grapefruit. He makes fresh juice out of these every morning! (Yes, it is not a creature but still pretty interesting). 
Me and the cute little puppies at Norwalk, Lorenzo and Mona.
The scorpion that attacked Alex in the shower.... They are AWFUL!
The Rooster that likes our yard aka Alex´s arch nemisis and our alarm clock at 3 am, and 4am, and 5 am.....
The Rooster in our shower..... yes it got intoour house and into the shower!
Gecko. These are ALL over the place too. They just chill around our house. 
Finally, the spider that is as big as Alex´s head. This nasty thing was in our room one night... Yikes!Those are all the pictures we have for now. Hopefully I will add more to this post. I wanted to get a picture of the HUGE pig that lives nextdoor as well but no such luck. Love and miss you all!

Hi Kaitlyn...allow me to introduce myself. I'm your Dad's cousin John Fitzpatrick. Your Grandfather and my Dad were brothers. I'm enjoying reading your blogs and decided to comment on this particular blog because the "zoo" of insects and lizards was very similar to the pictures that my daughter Colleen sent to me from Sri Lanka. They too have scorpions, geckos and various insects to contend with. If you would care to blog her...google up "travelpod.com" enter collen.berg@ttu.edu and use the password "Astro87" (case sensitive).
Her email is colleen.berg@ttu.net.
Maybe the two of you could compare the local nasty cuisine and diameter of mosquito bites. Her husband is there on a Fulbright grant for the next few months doing research. She has my three grandsons with her.
Your Dad and I are closing in on our roots of Irish heritage. He'll bring you up to snuff when he visits.
If you would care to email me use jjfitzpatrick@comcast.net. Thanks...
