Mold and Cameras


We are doing our best with the equpiment. My clothes and shirts have molded. It is the wettest dry season in many years. The leaves are supposed to be crackling and it rains at least every two hours. The nights have been downpours. The river is as high as it was in March at the end of the rainy season. I have an entourage of 50 mosquitoes that follow me everywhere. The conditions are no picnic but the wildlife we are seeing makes all the annoyances worth it.

A few days ago we found a group of social caterpillars. They can be found on the sides of tree trunks gathered together for protection from predators. During daylight hours they bunch together for protection in numbers and create beautiful patterns. I checked the same tree at night and they were all gone, presumably to forage for food. This image is of a small section of their group.
