Well yesterday was a surprisingly dry day. We didn't have much luck in the morning collecting butterflies but we were successful getting coconuts to make risotto for dinner!
In the evening we went to a new spot looking for the butterfly aggregations. This new spot was actually pretty close. It was a small creek with a bunch of flowers called "hot lips" or "labios de puta" (hooker lips) -I know is not the direct translation but that's the way they call those flowers here, hahaha-. I was not paying attention to what was in front of me because I was looking for the butterflies but all of a sudden I saw a big dark thing just in front of me. It was a black caiman!! I was completely frozen at the beginning, man I almost step on a 1.5 meter black caiman -I thought-, My first impulse was to run away but the caiman was apparently so quiet that I slowly stepped back I just took my sight off the caiman for a second and when I looked back again it was gone...
By the end of the evening we found a new butterfly aggregation, so it was a good day afterall!
Well got a go to catch more butterflies, Chao!
This blog is about my adventures while doing research. Yeah this is what I do, this is what I love, and hopefully will continue to this until I die...
