The tree frog and the cricket - the Peruvian Amazon's odd couple
Bret and Mary from Green Global Travel talk about the odd "couple" they encountered in the Peruvian Amazon.
"Every evening we were on International Expeditions’ Amazon River cruise, our riverboat would fire up the engines and move a few hours down the mighty river. Eventually she’d stop and we’d tie off right by the riverbank, which was great if you wanted to hear a majestic chorus of tree frogs, crickets and other assorted critters. The problem was that said frogs and crickets did not STAY on the riverbank, and let’s just say the lights by our rooms drew more than their fair share of insects. Still, we were very happy to see these guys by our window the next morning. The frog looks well-fed, does he not?"
