3 December coil and antennal tibia greatly inflated. No tail (continued) vibration. Struck twice. We steered her back into the cavity under the leaf. I allowed as how since the only two trail segments I'd never walked at La Selva were Linderos Sur to Holbridge and back and since surely the distance wasn't much greater ... in fact, the Linderos Sur in that part is hill after hill, all very steep! Just before one reaches the corner of the property (which requires one last little hill) the trail crosses the Quelzada Esquina, a likely look spot for Atelopus if there are any at La Selva. The outermost +/- 1.5 km of Holbridge are also made up of steep trails, then there's 200 m of bad mud and no bridges. I fell into mid-thigh once and narrowly missed being skewered on an old trail stake. We saw a dark animal bolt across the Holbridge almost certainly an Eira barbara. We saw a lutra longicaudus dive in the Quelzada Esquina where it crosses Holbridge at +/- FHO 1000. Saw several Felis sp. tracks in the mud on that trail. Started raining +/- 10:30 h and rained off and on the rest of the day, never hard. The big ? B. asper was still in the same spot after dark. We saw almost no frog activity in the Cantarara Swamp, but caught a neonate Iurartodes carchon resting coiled on a leaf +/- 30 cm above forest floor at +/- CKS /50 (1.7 g, 236+96 mm).
