Night Walk

I just got back from a night walk along a trail called Numa. I spotted a big tree frog, saw a scorpion spider, and more conga ants than I wanted to. We went up in a canopy tower and found a few tarantulas living in the hand railings. On the way down I saw a conga ant trying to reach my shirt- not cool. It was very misty at the top of the tower, but when we turned off our lights our eyes adjusted.
On the jungle floor we switched off our lights also, and it was about as dark as it is inside a cave. Up above some light was filtering through the canopy, making it look like there were big dull stars overhead. The sky is overcast though, but hopefully we can go sleep in a tower soon and watch the sun set and rise!
