........we woke up at 5:30 to catch birds. Sorry. We LEFT at 5:30 to catch birds. we woke up earlier. It's wet and cold. We saw one. It was pretty cool. Worth getting up for. I got to hold it and its heart was going so fast that it felt like it was vibrating in my palm

-Passed out from 10-12:30

-Lunch was delicious

-Entomologist was SO AMAZING
*we set traps for bugs
*we netted bugs
*we whacked trees and collected bugs with those spider-sheet things
*we ripped apart logs and picked out the nastiest looking ones with tweezers

-20 different spiders
-Ants
-Isopods
-Gumball-sized rolly-polly bugs
-Snails

-SO FUN SO COOL. Could do that for hours. Now I kind of get my girlfriend's ability to sit in a lab for hours on end. If it was with bugs maybe I could do that too.

-Speaking of my girlfriend learned about the giant woodmoth. Gets as big as a Sparrow (maybe 300-500 grams?) thought she would love that one.
