Some moths decide they want to spend the last few days of their lives inside, and I am okay with that. What I wasn't expecting was for one of them to lay eggs on my living room's door frame. But this is how this whole story happened. I had just arrived home from work and while talking to my daughter in the living room, and walking around, she noticed I h...

Neuwied's Tree Snake (Dipsas neuwiedi)

All images © 2010-2021 Ana Carolina da Fonte (Masseran). Location: Recife-PE, Brazil. Neuwied's Tree Snake - Dipsas neuwiedi Dipsas neuwiedi is a small species of non-poisonous snake in the family Dipsadidae endemic to the Atlantic Forest. It occurs along almost the entire Brazilian coast. It is a terrestrial species with nocturnal habits. Due to its color pattern, it is often confused with jararaca species, but it is completely harmless. It feeds preponderantly on mollusks. This species has morphological adaptations on its skull and mandibles that assist in removing gastropods from their shells. A very striking feature of this snake is its eyeballs, which are very eye-catching. This snake has a light yellowish brown background color with trapezoids drawn on the back. Its body is laterally compressed. Defense Mechanism Even though it doesn't inoculate venom, the dormouse has a defense mechanism to intimidate when it feels threatened. It tries to look like a venomous snake by...

Moonseed Fruitpiercer (Gonodonta sinaldus)

All images © 2010-2021 Ana Carolina da Fonte (Masseran) Moonseed Fruitpiercer (Gonodonta sinaldus) Location: Recife-PE, Brazil. Source: Wikipedia Gonodonta sinaldus, the moonseed fruitpiecer, is a moth of the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. It is found from the Mexican border north to Concan in the Texas Hill Country. There are sporadic records north to at least Dallas, south at least to Trinidad and Colombia. The wingspan is about 36 mm. There are probably continuous generations. The larvae feed on moonseed vine. References Wagner, David L.; Schweitzer, Dale F.; Sullivan, J. Bolling & Reardon, Richard C.

Pachylia syces is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is found from Mexico through Belize and Honduras to Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina. It is also found on Jamaica. There is a pale median band on the forewing upperside which is separated into two patches.

Cururu Toad (Rhinella diptycha)

All images © 2010-2021 Ana Carolina da Fonte (Masseran). Location: Recife-PE, Brazil. Cururu toad Rhinella diptycha (Cope, 1862) (Anura: Bufonidae) Rhinella diptycha, sometimes referred to as Cope's toad, Schneider's toad, cururu toad, or rococo toad, is a toad found in northern Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, eastern Bolivia, and eastern and southern Brazil.[1][2][3] It is one of three rather similar species sometimes referred to as "cururu toads" in Brazil, the others being R. jimi and R. marina (cane toad). Like those, R. diptycha is a large toad, females up to 25 cm (9.8 in) in snout–to–vent length and males up to 18 cm (7.1 in).[3] Rhinella diptycha is a widespread and very common species that occurs in a variety of habitats but most commonly in open and urban ones. It breeds in permanent and temporary ponds, preferring ones without much vegetation.[1] Its natural habitats include dry savanna, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threaten...

Loxa viridis (Palisot de Beauvois, 1805)

All images © 2010-2021 Ana Carolina da Fonte (Masseran). Location: Recife-PE, Brazil. Loxa viridis (Palisot de Beauvois, 1805) The Loxa viridis is a species of the family Pentatomidae. Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha: Pentatomoidea: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae: Chlorocorini There are three members of Loxa extremely similar in Brazil: Loxa deducta (Walker, 1867), Loxa virescens (Amyot & Serville, 1843) and Loxa viridis (Palisot de Beauvois, 1805, according to some places, while in others, Palisot, 1811). All have a distribution in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. L. viridis occurs, according to a source that I will make available below, from Florida and the Téxas to Brazil and Argentina; Floreana, Isabela, Santa Cruz. I had to study their morphology to differentiate them. The general color of L. viridis is green. The lateral margins of the yaws are lighter in color than the disk on the head. The anterolateral margins on the pronotum are serrated, usually lighter in c...

Pseudautomeris Luteata (Walker, 1865)

All images © 2010-2021 Ana Carolina da Fonte (Masseran). Location: Recife-PE, Brazil. Pseudautomeris luteata a member of Buck and Io Moths Subfamily Hemileucinae Pseudautomeris is a genus of moths in the family Saturniidae first described by Claude Lemaire in 1967.[1] A beautiful caterpillar also turns out to be a beautiful moth! It is considered a pest to certain types of crops such as forage peanuts, which are often used as pasture. This larva can reach up to 6.5cm in length before moving on to the next step of metamorphosis, when it pupates. It belongs to the family Hemileucinae, of which most members have potent venom. Curiosities: Its consumption of leaves in the final stage as a larva is abundant, providing great defoliation. Besides causing an unbearable burning sensation on contact, the venom can cause serious harm to animals and humans.
