Night Hike

The night hike was really cool! We crossed a suspension bridge high above a river, which was a beautiful sight in the moonlight. As we crossed the bridge, a boa constrictor slithered around in the understory below us. We descended down a long, winding staircase to a secluded area of jungle. The different levels of the rainforest were visible if you shined your flashlight up. There were many large spiders. Leaf-cutter ants marched on little trails in the dirt that they had created. On one tree, there were bullet ants. Bullet ants are a red, one inch-long ant species. They have a very painful bite, so I was pretty paranoid about the ants.
