Field Notes

Description:

It was rotten, and a dark greenish-brown. It was around eight feet up in the air, and was the size of a very small football. (Perhaps 8-10cm in diameter). It smelled quite bad, but the scent was not very potent. There were what looked like spiders all around it. The creatures were maybe around 2cm long, and 1 cm wide.

Habitat:

Secondary rainforest, partly in shade.

Notes:

The critters might have be eating the rotten skin of the Jack fruit, I'm not quite sure.
