Picture of a Taratula in The TrapToday, I worked again with Ellen Wang and my teammates Michelle and Mary. We went back to the trap lines and collected the amphibians and reptiles that had fallen in.
In order for us to collect the frogs and lizard we have to first take out other creatures that had also fallen into the trap. This included insects, tarantulas, scorpions, mice, cockroaches, and crickets. On our way from the field we saw a beautiful deer crossing the road. See its picture below. We collected a great richness of frogs (60 total!), which was the record number for this week. According to Ellen, this number was due to the fact that it rained yesterday and more amphibians are caught during the rainy season. However, the most common type of species we caught was the P. Albonotatus, which is found in both the dry and wet season. In the afternoon, we worked in the lab to measure and weigh them. I also entered the data we collected. In addition, we attended a presentation on otters by Manuel. Manuel’s presentation was very informative. I feel even more eager to see otters.
