I Speak For The Fleas.

A display of all the superb creatures found at Escuela Bella Vista in Maracaibo Venezuela, (and previously where I taught at the American international school of Maputo Mozambique). At least once a week a child brings me some arthropod or other creature to identify, play with or admire. This blog seeks to honor those avid inquirers. Unlike the Lorax who spoke for the trees, Ispeakforthefleas! Enjoy.

Lovely Noctuid moth (Achaea lienardi) at school today.

It is a fruit eater found from Cape to Cairo, and is extremely variable in color.
