The New World
2010-01-03

First sights in the morning The canopy As though I were in Jurassic Park Much more cheerful than the day before:  Marissa, Rose, Samantha, Stephanie, & Jesús One of the streams through the forest

A view from El Yunque to the Atlantic Fungi in the forest A parasitic liverwort? Marissa exploring the stream bed Our first stick-insect:
an immature female Lamponius portoricensis Rehn

By the next Hibiscus bush, we find a mature male Just hanging out on an Hibiscus leaf One of the noisy coqui frogs These tree snails were everywhere in the forest An amblypygid

     
  A lovely spider   This little anole completes our night on the trail
