Hlee, H. 1997 June 1 at 1655h Kelly installed a Hobo data (continued) logger at "Box 24", ~3m into forest and SW of the stairs at 1195 m. After dark I got a huge (23g) caterpillar out of a tree, ~5 m up - Dave Hardy spotted it. June 2 Last night at dinner, teasing Mark Moffett about being a Harvard PhD, he says "So I guess Silence of the Lambs is a procedural manual at Berkeley?" While we pickle snakes, a German tourist comes by to chat, comes here to collect snakes and is very excited about having an "Elaphe leonardi - never before photographed! Dave Hardy asks him about permits and he says "Please ask me an easier question." At night we descend the bed of "Stream #3" w/ Ted, who at 1955h, 895 m, grabs an immature Sinoratrix trianguligera as it swims in a small pool. At 2110h, 870m, I grab a small Amolops ~20 cm above ground on a small plant ~3m from the stream bed. Later, walking the Upper Loop Road we catch a Geleho sinensis 30cm above ground on a stone wall, 2215h, 955m. Ted catches an Elaphe porphyracea crossing the road at 2225h
