Toes in the Water…

So I had to write a little bit about today, Saturday, before I left on the trip just because was so sweet.



This is the stream in the Cloud Forest that we worked in. There were Spider Monkeys throwing stuff at us part of the time! Pretty sweet, but unfortunately no pictures. They were illusive.

We did aquatic invertebrate (water bug) collection today in the Cloud Forest and in Monteverde. This was amazing because we got to play in the water and with bugs. Not to mention, being able to spend a beautiful morning outside!

Then for the afternoon we did lab analysis, inside work unfortunately, although it was very interesting and I got some good pics too through the stereoscope.

All in all, I was a great day, minus being stung by a wasp twice… but the swelling has subsided already and now all I remember are the good times. Maybe more description later. Now just pictures! Enjoy!

This is me doing science...

This is Bob.

This is Jake... he lost his bottoms.

This is Sam... the is my favorite.

There were many many more. I think we found nearly 20 species total, and about 150 individuals.
