Gotta love Venezuela. Maybe we need to put out hummingbird feeders, so that we keep our shiniest inhabitants happy at EBV.
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.

Escuela Bella Vista, Shining-green hummingbird (Lepidopyga goudoti)
This tiny emerald machine literally dropped out of the sky for lack of enough sugars Well done to the 7th grade girls who found him at the lunch tables (Greta Mici and friends). It took about 20 min of passion fruit juice and love, before he scratched himself (like a green dog with a sword) and zoomed off to be what he was meant to be. What a wonderful creature.
