Story: Tiputini/Rex Cocroft DAT #4 Recorded: October 29, 2005, Tiputini Biodiversity Station, Ecuador Logged by: Carolyn Jensen Split track with twin MKH 20 Sennheisers Going out on the trail with Rex Cocroft and a guide, Hendryk 01:00 Rex Cocroft: Right here, there's an adult of the genus Phylia and that's one of the members of that group that I'm interested in. They have as much variety and social behavior as seen throughout the whole family. So I'll go and meet our guide. 1:19-1:50 FX Walking 1:52 - 5:57 Buenos Dias Hendry speaks in Spanish 6:27 RC Just going to show you this now. Here's a little member sign of a genus : 6:29 Carolina, Yow. Wow, right there. RC: This what I found last night, so it was making me feel pretty good before I went to bed RC: Last night I was just walking along with my headlight. It's pretty difficult to find at night But I did just see this insect which looks a bit like a thorn on a plant. But what makes it stand out is that it's a plant that completely lacks thorns. It's about half as long as your fingernail. It's a little thorn shaped creature, And it's feeding on the sap of the plant, and this is a really great place to find them. It's just the fast growing end of a vine which is nutritionally very good for these insects. [7:30] 7:40 FX Walking on walkway 9:33. RC: So, he's going to take us around this Matapalo trail and orient us a little to the trail system and show us some tree falls and light gaps where we have a good chance of finding new plant growth and insects. 10:00 FX Walking ****10:15 RC: I don't think we're going to make it out of the camp. AC: You haven't gotten very far Dr. Cocroft before you've stopped three times. We've only traveled 20 feet. RC: Well, I knew there was a good reason to come to Tiputini, because it's got more different kinds of plants than anywhere else, And it's going to have more different kinds of plant breeding insects. So here's on this very new growth on this vine, there's a group of about half a dozen adults of two species of the kinds of insects I'm looking for. So here's another genus. AC: You would assume that these are signaling? RC: Probably they are signaling, and that's something that we can check out later. In fact I would guess that with those several individuals there, they might well be chorusing, but that's an hypothesis we can test maybe this afternoon. [11:22] 11:26 - Turn and walk away 11:42 Aah. Beautiful. That's a mantis. AC: I would have taken that for a leaf. RC: Like one of the mantis we're familiar with from home, but with a big cobras head¿. 12:30 FX: Walking on. 12:45 Carolyn. Here's one of the ants to watch out for. That's a pereponera, which has an extremely painful bite, so they tell me. Very distinctive. The only thing you're likely to see that size, and it has orange legs. Last night on the way back from the Comador, I saw two, and they really like to, especially at night, to walk along the handrails, the rope strung between things, so look before you put your hands somewhere, especially because of those. [3:26] 13:27 AC: That ant I would guess is more than an inch long. RC: And they bite, and hold on with their front end, and sting with their back end, so you don't really want one falling down the back of your shirt. 14:17. RC: Well, if you want to blindfold me for a minute, we'll see if we can make it out of the camp. 14:25 FX: Walking Hendry: {Spanish. } Rex: We're going to walk through a terra firma area. Its' a higher... (Notes truncated)
