Aug. 25 Finca Sta. Julia and Finca la Chusula, Depto. San Marcos, Guatemala
Jed, Antonio and I drove to Finca la Chusula (owned by
Ruben Perez) near Km. 263 on RN1. We stopped in a patch
of forest near the entrance and searched for bromeliads
from 1400-1520 but found nothing (14.94692°N, 91.86277°W
[WGS84, 9m acc.], 2160m elev.). The forest looked good
and we opened ~ 70 bromeliads, and I searched in a few
logs as well. It rained while we were searching. Next, we
drove towards San Marcos and stopped at Km 260.6,
between Aldea Pajon and Buena Vista. We searched
in the roadside for ~25 min and I found a subadult
B. merio (14.93999°N, 91.84894°W [WGS84, 5m acc.],
2444m elev.) at 1620. I drove back to San Marcos,
had dinner and then drove back on RN1. Jed and Carlos
dropped off Antonio and I at Restaurant Divisor (14.94948°N,
91.81577°W [WGS84, 16m acc.], 2281m elev.) and then
drove down to belay Finca la Chusula. Antonio and I walked
down to Finca Chusula along the road checking the roadside
with lights. We searched from 2050-2200 but found
nothing. Conditions seemed too dry despite the recent rain and
the habitat didn't look good. Jed and Carlos drove up
and met us at the entrance to Finca Chusula; Carlos
had found a Silpho and collected it.
