Hayes, Paraguay

to be hollow. Saw holes (2 at least)
shaped like the N. laticruris nests at
Buen f Aigo. Numerous roadside
pools along this stretch - probably 20 or 25,
mately only a few meters in dia. Arrived
10 PM. Temp 84°F, partly cloudy, sl breeze from N.
3PM temp 35°C. Put up 9 nets, including 2 60'
over the two large pools. Set out my 17 Sherman
in heavy brush alongside a flooded field.
Most of the traps are on dry ground underneath
brush. Shot a charata - very fat. Caught
only 4 L. ega, very disappointing. Closed
net around 10:30 PM, air temp 21°C, p/clear,
very sl. E wind. Mosquitoes wed. bad.
Pue is a lake, ~100m dia, in the forest nearby,
which may be drawing bats from the
roadside pools. But they didn't seem to
be nearly as many flying her as they were
last night, if there weren't that many then.
