André, seja bem vindo ao Noah. Agora arruma uma máquina e sai tirando fotos que eu sei que tem muita coisa legal ai para você fotografar. Não se preocupe com o inglês, pode escrever em português se achar mais fácil. Se quiser algumas dicas de máquinas fotográficas eu te ajudo. Abraços !

Am I the only one here who thinks this looks a lot like some character from the Muppet Show (when seen in profile)? :-)

Incredable spider, I never seen such camuflage, looks like a hermit crab.

Jamas había visto algo así en mi vida ! Eso si es camuflaje
Felicidades por tu hallazgo Rubens, te mereces algo mas que spotting of the day de eso estoy seguro
y buen trabajo a Ian que la identifico
Me gusta encontrarme spottings como éste, donde se ve la unión de toda la comunidad que forman parte de project noah, estamos juntos en esto y nuestra pasión es la misma: la vida, en todas sus representaciones.
