Mypal Leary 1969 Journal 34 July 14 (cont.) Papa Ren tree, 150+ ft., Depto. Lima, Peru nice for specimens + stomach samples. Pearson and I took pictures of Tillandsia and animal tracks around the Tillandsea. In one setting we got prints of 3-toed birds, 4-toed birds, 2 sizes of mouse, and fox tracks. We collected more insect samples from under Tillandsia, but still have not found a good method of getting everything. 1:30 We cut back to the study area. I set 4 fox traps and Ray set four. There were placed around the periphery of the area, in hopes of protecting the bodies of the mice caught in snaptraps from the foxes. Previously, the phermons with mice as them have been worried by foxes, and on occasions the trap is at the bottom of a big hole dug by the fox! More insect samples were taken. Snap traps and live traps were placed in alternate positions, but we ran out of snap traps, so the rows 6 through 1 of rows 10 and 11 and all of row 12 are missing snaptraps at every other position. The fox traps were baited with beef from our stew. I took pictures of the study area from across the road and on top of an adjacent hill. Ray took temperatures on the area. Carl found a weevil with its snout tube in a Tillandsia blossom.
