Today we traced our steps along the Maya Trail to collect our pee tubes from yesterday. Some of the tubes were surprisingly difficult to find, especially the ones on the forest floor, even though we had  tried to standardize their positions.

After collecting, it was time to analyze! I personally, did not collect many (any) arthropods in three of my tubes, but one of my pee tubes had a caterpillar and a roach!

Next, we had to go out to collect our camera traps! We retraced our steps from the research station to San Pastor Rd and then up and down the Bird Observation Tower. We eventually got them all, and I hope there is a good opportunity coming up to view the images together.

After a late lunch, we all piled into the van and came to the Midas Hotel in Santa Elena and San Ignacio (the twin cities). I did not see any ants today 🙁
