the large pond near the water tank. Caught
2 M classes (released), 1 Jassir egg &

nor been any where there have been
many insects. Few mosquitoes, & all of them
flesh-flying variety. But many 10th
pslovaring (no-see-ums), flying at all times.
Today & w/w weather, continuing to be
very hot & humid. 95 at 11 PM. Don't
think temp has been below 90 since we
crossed the river, except during the rainstorm
at Bien Unido. Partly cloudy, lots of
thunderstorms passing around us.
Trip home - left 8 AM. Had set trap
