Wouw...what a kind this species....?
Yes, Eulalia, we have many weevils in Brazil. Unfortunately, many of them are harmful to agriculture, and are fiercely fought. Anyway, I find them extremely interesting (I call them the clowns of the insects, by their shapes and colors). Have you seen this one? / Sí, Eulalia, tenemos muchos picudos en Brasil. Desafortunadamente, muchos de ellos son perjudiciales para la agricultura, y se pelearon ferozmente. De todos modos, me parecen muy interesantes (yo los llamo los payasos del insecto, por su formas y colores). ¿Has visto esto? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/9435050
É incrível o quanto você tem gorgulhos. Na Espanha eu só conheci duas "red palm weevil" e "arroz bicudo." Espero ter mais sorte no futuro.
Olá Sergio, por favor, incluir seus gorgulhos para esta missão?
