Coyote Peterson Encounters a Giant Cockroach During a Midnight Jaunt Through the Rainforest

While out on a nighttime jaunt in the rainforest of Costa Rica, Brave Wilderness host Coyote Peterson encountered a whole bunch of creepy-crawly insects and reptiles. Some of the encounters were painful like the angry army ant who repeatedly stung Peterson’s finger and the giant cockroach whose spiky legs dug into Peterson’s skin several times, while a poisonous eyelash viper and a less toxic false coral snake calmly rested in the adventurer’s hands.

Along the way he finds many bizarre creepy crawlies including a HUGE Cockroach that has extremely sharp barbed legs! In addition to the roach Coyote is also stung by Army Ants and comes nose to nose with a tiny Eyelash Viper…but that’s not the only snake he finds!
