Searching for caecilians in a haystack.

Searching for caecilians in a decomposed haystack is like what some folks would say, searching for a needle in a haystack. it is true that the odds are against the one who is searching, but with good luck and a supportive monsoon pattern, finding these fossorial amphibians is fun. Also help and guidance from stalwarts like Dr K P Dinesh and Dr G K Bhatt has helped, and learning field skills from P Prashanth has been a boon. The Panja digger, as its called is handy and well always rewards with a sighting if one works hard enough.
