I take pictures of anything interesting and unusual that
crosses my path here each day. As we are here in the
jungle, I see a lot of insects. So one day I was showing
some of my pictures to two scientists who were here on
Isla Bastimentos, Bocas del Toro, Panama studying our Red
Poison Dart Frogs. We all found one set of photos rather
interesting. I emailed one of the photos to them so that
they could forward it to a scientist they knew. He took a
look at the photo and was instantly excited. I had
apparently captured on digital film a very rare katydid.
Since then I have been communicating directly with this
"grasshopper" specialist. We are on the look out for all
kinds of grasshoppers, etc. so to learn what we can about
each of them. Here is a link to my current gallery of
grasshoppers.

In an attempt to get information to the various people
who are interested in what it is like to live in the
jungle here in Panama, we have created this new website.
We will be posting to it whenever we have more
information to share. It is one way to get the
information out. As we all know - it's a jungle out
there.
