And other cool inverts? Im spending 10 days down here and figured I'd keep an eye out for bugs and such. Gracias!

 
Hi,

As far as I am informed, you should be able to find Mantis religiosa and different kinds of Empusa down there. Probably also some Sphodromantis from Africa are possible. But I am not sure which kinds are under conversation in Spain. You should inform yourself in advance.

Cheers,

Tristan

 
Also, be on the look out for the Megarian banded centipede. They're about 4 1/2 inches long! I think you could be able to see iris oratoria, but not sure...

 
Yes, Iris Oratoria is a very possible candidate but at this time of the year they should be still very young.

Oh, cool inverts in general? Well scorpions are cool and there are plenty.
