Eu deveria começar a carregar

Está bem, maybe not. But I did get a little jealous when I came across this article where I discovered a local San Francisco artist who is charging $60 a pop forinsect spreading classes”.

This time, with a moth

Here are a few more images from my recent northern road trip, this time from western Idaho. Right outside the town of New Meadows were fields of flowers thick with life.

Bem-vindo ao volume oito da série inconsistente reoccurring, Gênio da Imprensa. Me deparei com este artigo recentemente sobre uma borboleta porto-riquenho endêmica.
