Costa Rica in 2013

We spent the first week of August in Costa Rica, where Wayne was invited to help with an insect survey in the mountains north of San Jose. We packed for tropical sunshine but were warned to bring rain gear, which we put to good use. We discovered that August is part of the "rainy season" in Costa Rica and it rained every afternoon. Since we were in the mountains it was also quite cool. Collecting was successful, we saw many of our entomological friends, and I have a new sweater from Walmart in San Jose, Costa Rica.
