A small image from a point and shoot camera taken a while ago. The setting is the jungle in Chocó Department on the western side of Colombia. I would love to know what species of tree.

Thank you Asher I think Ceiba is a good call. Didn't get a look at the leaves. No no repellant though biting ants were a good possibility. On a different visit to the location (Nuquí) I found myself a few feet away from a Chocoan Bushmaster (Lachesis acrochordaa) while visiting a bat cave. We both remained calm (me and the snake) but an aggressive encounter would have been considerably worse for me than ant bites.
