Everyone is familiar with the famous death’s head hawkmoth, اما من فکر می کنم مایه شرمساری است که ما چنین شخصیت بدی را محبوب کرده ایم. در بالا یک Arctiinae نئوتروپیکال بسیار شادتر از گویان فرانسه است که به نظر می رسد چهره دلقکی دارد.. متاسفانه این عکس من نیست, but you should take a moment to explore Les Lépidoptéristes de France website. Their photos from their annual expeditions makes me jealous!
Many thanks for quoting our Idalus dorsalis picture from French Guyana and adding a link to our website. I’ll add asap a link to your interesting blog.
By the way, I was astonishing by reading your post “1984” about taking pictures of farms. Farms as military secret buildings !!! I’m sure it’s to protect (and hide) Monsanto activities.
