128.
13 Aug. (contd.) more work. Were it not for todays Heteroptera
I would count the days we've spent here
totally frustrating. I suspect that other
collectors would have similar results -
a few good things that barely make the effort
to come S of Cerritos de la Muerto profitable.
And in only a little while, this whole region will
be as disturbed as that around San Jose'
& the Merceda Central.
14 Aug.
San Isidro del General, Prov. San Jose' to Rd. "La Georgina",
Prov. San Jose
up by 8 & on the road up to Canaan.
This rd takes of N from the SE end of town near Post.
"Bavaria". It is a moderately good gravel rd that
winds up a hilly valley. The habitat is quite
disturbed with much banana & cattle. Very
scenic tho, w/ one large rocky river. Returned
to San Isidro then drove back up to "La Georgina"
for lunch. Got permission to set nets in the woods
behind here. It is lacking in much understorey
except for some ground orchids (in bloom) & short
trees. The ground slopes moderately to the N & there
are some nice luis trees. Set 9 nets (160') in here
in a large arc down & around the restaurant.
Had dinner & got a room & rested 'til sundown
then set up nets. Got ~ 5 Sturmiina + 2 Eptericus?
