Do you already "abla espanol"? Well, I wish you good luck and I'm sure we'll continue to see lots of your posts here about interesting South American ant species. Man! I think you'll become one of the main queen supliers.

Oh, and while you are there, save the rainforest!!!

John

Hope you have good trip and looking forward some interesting stories on your return.
You will be in the backyard of some very interesting species from Solenopsis, Army ants, leaf cutters etc etc.

I take it that the Y-tong we discussed is now off the menu?
