Laj Chinel, Guatemala
We prepped specimens in the morning - were about to out to look for
horns after lunch when a huge rainstorm hit. Spent the afternoon
cleaning and filthly calvin instead. After dinner, it had stopped raining
(maybe around 20:00) and we went to the trail from the Laj Chinel-
San Pablo el Balder road that leads to Cuateo Chapas. The bird
nets were set up along here, and I went out with the leaders at
04:30 this morning - had heard frogs calling in the forest (also got
a Bello). One side of the trail is forested while the other side is
either secondary forest scrub, or cornfields. I searched along the path
w/ Ricardo from 21:15-23:00 and I found 4 B. lineahol (all on
vegetation), 2 Andia sleeping on leaves, and a Guayacata on a leaf.
Ricardo said he would be right behind me when I returned back just
before 23:00. I met Carlos on the way back, and he had found 3
Guayaatas, all on vegetation. We went back to the truck to wait for
Ricardo + Carlos found a Trachidus leighori + and Andia on
the rock wall along the road. We waited for ~30 min then went to
search for Ricardo for 30 min before finding him back at the car;
he had gotten lost in the woods - we walked past him. Our plan
was to search for longer, but we were all exhausted + decided to go to
bed. The night had been very good for searching- everything was wet
but no rain.

Cerro Mosalaquin, Upantan, Quiché, Guatemala.
We had to put gas in one of the trucks, so we decided to look near
Upantan today. After breakfast, we drove to the path that Laura
(a peace corps volunteer) had led us up in Jan 2016. I opened on a
