30 July. This is like press last night sit except there
is no pond. Considerably dead wood very soft
cotton, lining the road right parallelly to the road
30ft or so back into the river swery. Probably
been there since the road was built. Into this
went 19 collapsible Shermans & my 15
homemade non-collapsible Shermans. Vegetation
like before, but more castes especially a
leaved which has glaudrial leaves that flat in
the ground mats. Various spines. Lots of armadillo
holes, deer's pig tracks. Parrots including a new,
unidentified (so far) kind. Chorata.
Looked hard for Cleomys leucurus, finally
found a few old ones about 3km outside of the
road, too late to do anything about it. Drove
up & down the road from 2:30-8:30 PM with Bob
could not catch 1 Totus bolito & sacava fox. Not much
moving, the rest were too tired to stick with it
very long. Afterward (4PM) I went for a walk.
In about a km I saw 3 Totus Bolito & caught 2:
a 8's & a 9. Both reacted strongly to the light & I
couldn't see what they were doing except that
we was surrounded by a lot of angry termites
including a bunch clinging to its belly. I located all
three le's sound of, I believe I heard several others,
weather hot. Paying 32 or so overnight dead in evening.
