There was a bit of wildlife about, but mostly invertebrates.

Infi, look away NOW.

There are plenty of ground-dwelling ants, but some have figured a better way to beat the seasonal flooding: live in trees. So they build nests like this.

Meanwhile, the termites go above ground level, in their fortified bunkers. These can reach five or six feet in height.

This crittur came to visit my tent, but I was cool with that.

I was slightly less cool with this visit, though.

Aww, it's just a harmless little huntsman. And it's missing a leg.

Still, I got out the other side of the tent.
