| Late night meeting where we learned how to transplant our collected fungus. Hopefully they will continue to thrive. |
Today, we started off with a delicious breakfast. Then, we headed off to the rain forest to steal fungus from some ant colonies. Pinto skillfully showed us how to remove the fungus and queen. Some of the ants had vicious bites, but nothing too unbearable. We laughed, cried, and (Connor) bled. After this, we ate a filling lunch, then headed off to a zip line canopy tour through the rain forest. When we got back, we had dinner, dessert, and an evening meeting. Tony made a new bug friend.
