Just a quick note to say that it is now actually the rainy season! We’ve had a couple of good nights of rain and the bromeliads are less bone-dry! Woo! Unfortunately that now means working in the rain some of the time but it’s worth it to actually have the critters live!
Speaking of critters – we’re gearing up to put our experimental communities together in the next couple of days. Today was a final push to find the damselfly larvae we need and we found 36 in one day! Woo!
And as a final note – I found the cutest snake you will ever see in a bromeliad today. A little Imantodes sp. (blunt headed snake) that was about 20 cm long and curled up on my hand. His name is leonard. Pictures to follow.
Pura Vida!
