I've spent all day sorting and editing photos from last week's Sierra El Tigre, Sonora, Mexico biodiversity cataloging expedition. I finished all the invertebrates and now need to start on the plants. All 374 photos worth 😱
After a quick count, it looks like I photographed about 160 unique plant species over three days. This only includes a few trees and shrubs, which others were focusing on. Others documented many, many other plants I never saw and there are certainly many, many more that we missed. The biodiversity of the Sky Island ranges is mind blowing.
I'll set up a gallery and maybe do a short blog post about it on my site, but here's one of the weirder things I photographed: ant crickets! They live in ant nests. We had a myrmecologist on the trip who dug these up. They are about the size of the medium-small ants they live with, smaller than a small grain of rice.
