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.

Philothamnus natalensis ( Natal green snake) at school this week
Look at the difference in the eye, The final picture in this post is a green Mamba (thank you Wikipedia), the pupil is clearly black with a green iris, while the previous three pictures of the Natal green snake that was found near the cafeteria today, show an entirely black eye with a light brown ring... can you see the difference? So here is my plea. Please let's learn the difference and stop killing innocent and harmless beauties that have a function to accomplish in our special environment.
We have a obligation to learn about, and to protect our environment. We cannot do that and call ourselves "openminded" (Hello IB learners) If we brand all snakes as demons.
