permits needed for insect collecting in Ecuador?

[San Diego Natural History Museum]

Gary, based on the presentation we just had at the permits workshop here,
my guess would be that you have to have permits for collecting
anything in Ecuador. Let me know off-line if you would like the contact
info for our Ecuadorian speaker.
