22:00 Today I mostly helped out in the
labs again. I promised to help out Je and Em but got caught up finishing off
photos and had to explain after lunch… but I did get to help them eventually.
Also, whilst walking around today I saw a couple more types of Butterflies
though there isn't any time to be running about with a net just now.
Small Butterfly (D.Philpot) |
Another Small One (D.Philpot) |
A New Butterfly (D.Philpot) |
Golden Patterns (D.Philpot) |
After lunch I witnessed two Coatis
having a bicker behind the kitchen, they opened their mouths to each other
displaying their teeth whilst circling each other before rolling around making
the most outrageous noises. Oh how I
missed my favourite animal of Costa Rica!
The berm of sand on the beach in front
of the lower Quebrada San Miguel (stream) will apparently soon burst through
with the next large rain storm or very soon at least which will be interesting
to see given how high it is as I write this.
This evening we watched a film entitled
"Without A Trace" which was alright but it was the type of movie
where the end felt like it should be around the middle. A Praying Mantis flew
about during it also, swooping down near a lot of people's heads and getting in
the way of the film too - I had chose to sit next to Em in the centre also who
tends to be a screamer and attract the insects too. ML told me an interesting
funny story from army days which I wrote "he's coming for you
tonight" in my journal, however I have now sadly forget the details…
