http://wordsofthemonkey.blogspot.com/2012/08/pity-poor-mosquito.html
Natureza - in and around the Mata Atlantica. Friday, 17 August 2012. Pity the poor mosquito! You are probably, dear reader, a little prejudiced against mosquitoes. Take Aedes scapularis.

Natureza - in and around the Mata Atlantica: October 2012

http://wordsofthemonkey.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Natureza - in and around the Mata Atlantica. Monday, 23 January 2012. This is Fuchsia regia.
