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.

Orange-chinned Parakeet (Brotogeris jugularis) at Escuela Bella Vista
These delightful little fellows were in the trees around the primary school parking lot. They seem to be common in our area, and they are not flighty. They watch you with a cautious interest. They may adopt a nest cavity that other birds have used, or make a hole in a termite heap like the one shown here at the Garden Botanico Maracaibo. Thanks to wikipedia for the distribution map.
