Jeni nan laprès la, v.III

Yon lòt pati ankò nan seri pi renmen mwen an, jeni laprès la. This article comes from ABC news, ki moun ki ka idantifye cheni sa a? It is decidedly NOT a gypsy moth.

Monak yo te kòmanse nò migrasyon sezon prentan yo, epi ou ta ka menm wè youn byento (pa enteresan si ou ap viv nan FL oswa HI kote gen moun ki abite pandan tout ane a, oswa nan CA kote gen tach separe ivèrnaj).
