Field Notes

Notes:

Here it is! The rarest cat in the world's poop stash. Elevation aprx. 14,600 ft High Andes. This is as close as I got to the Andean Mountain Cat. They relieve themselves in, kind of, stashed areas, this is how we know they are in the area. Hopefully by now the team has captured the cat on trap cameras and also collard one. Can't wait for the report! Also, not pretty to look at but exciting for me.

Oh, yeah sorry about that I was wondering how I earned that. Thank you.

Hi Joshua, this spotting should be removed from the Lost Ladybug Project. This will also remove the mission patch which you unexpectedly earned, but you should get that back if you make another spotting of a genuine Ladybug.
