Yo igual sabia que era del género era Megalopyge, crees que la especie si sea opercularis :O? Por cierto encontré de nuevo la Anolis o no se si sea otra, apenas la subí :) para ver si puedes chocarla mi buen Nestor, saludos y muchas gracias! (quiero ver al borreguillo convertido en polilla, esta hermosa >< jaja)
