Thank you very much, Joshua G. Smith for the ID to Tachybaptus dominicus ducks.
Thank you very much, Machi, for the ID.
Thank you very much, Mark Ridgway for the ID to Eumorpha fasciatus.
Thank you again for the ID, Machi!. now I can put this spider in my catalogue of species from the area I work in.
where do you live?
Nacho García, tienes razón, hay todo un universo de posibilidades de ser sorprendido a cada paso. La vida siempre hermosa.
Machi, thanks for the ID, I have not idea about its name. I have found several awasome animals in an area practically denuded of its original medium and high humid forest, and converted to almost pure orange crops, at the northest of Veracruz State, Mexico.
Leuba, it is very common to find avocado leaves with that gills, thank you for tell us what cause them. For tamales and other mexican food recipes we use an avocado variety named "aguacate oloroso", maybe Persea americana var. drymifolia. Its leaves are very aromatic and are used for some delicious poultry, fish and meat recipes. The fruits are smaller than super market's avocados, and have a soft and palatable skin, we eat the pulp and skin with a bit of salt when they look black colored, http://www.avocadosource.com/slides/2004....
Nacho García, muchas gracias por la determinación de la especie de la oruga.
Thank you Deepti S.
