I dropped down to the coast and met Miguel at the back gate of the reserve where Juan Perez let us in as Manu was still Guiding a group.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhw5VH3iMzd9Dgrq8jRjIz8UuuLM4P0o2LjSG9l732qplG9OEBAaZ_h8QNUzwUiUARYifvn1PaIHaqQrRw7x5QHLSHG-9rKPyJm_y_WygikcJIwMsqFFF7mbO6UMWCcN4trmMByDqQQyiG0orq0G35vEfe3_pe_Qx9AJvwvEeuRPi6A54kO3kba8Lf/w640-h578/29th-April-22-3.jpg) |

Inspecting the trap.

A little later Beatriz, Juan, Suzie and two others joined us to look around the traps, at about 01.00 the others left and we tried to grab a few hours sleep before we sorted the traps, I will cover the Moths in the following post.
