Definitely a Gomphidae. There are several species found in Costa Rica, for example Epigomphus, Phyllogomphoides, Progomphus and certainly some more genus. I cannot tell you which one it is. http://www.flickr.com/photos/birdernaturalist/6006697592/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/webersaustin/5569727932/
