Mae pawb yn gyfarwydd â'r enwog pen angau hawkmoth, ond rwy’n meddwl ei bod yn drueni ein bod wedi poblogeiddio cymeriad mor ddifrifol. Uchod mae Arctiinae Neotropical llawer mwy siriol o Guiana Ffrengig sy'n edrych fel ei fod yn gwisgo wyneb clown. Yn anffodus nid dyma fy llun, ond dylech gymryd eiliad i archwilio Lepidoptyddion Ffrainc gwefan. Mae eu lluniau o'u teithiau blynyddol yn fy ngwneud i'n genfigennus!
Many thanks for quoting our Idalus dorsalis picture from French Guyana and adding a link to our website. I’ll add asap a link to your interesting blog.
By the way, I was astonishing by reading your post “1984” about taking pictures of farms. Farms as military secret buildings !!! I’m sure it’s to protect (and hide) Monsanto activities.
