Elizabeth, our fearless leader, will be taking the team to our survey sites in the Valdivian temeperate rainforest. She is in charge of the canopy-fogging project, which is how we collect beetles and other insects from treetops that are to high to reach (more about that later!) Elizabeth studies click beetles (family Elateridae), but during this trip she will be hunting beetles of all kinds. She aims to collect more than 20 THOUSAND beetles this year!
Also over 40 THOUSAND Arthropods.
