You need my machete, riverboats, guides, translators, export licenses, and hard earned experience. You will take my safe comfortable riverboat, Dawn on the Amazon III, to where no entomologist has ever studied or collected. You will live and work at a comfort level better than a lodge and can move the boat to a new location any time you want. The rain forest of Peru is the place to make or enhance your reputation in the field of entomology. I am sure you already know about the great biodiversity. Home to 3700 butterfly species, 20% of the world's total; the rhinoceros beetle, strongest creature on earth, able to support 850 times its own weight; bird eating spiders, big as a dinner plate; more species undescribed by science than any other place on earth, here, for you to discover. Dr. E. O. Wilson counted 43 species of ants in one tree. Find your own tree. Contact me, and let's get started on the best adventure in entomology. |
