Doxocopa's photostream

I live in South America, graduated in (tropical) Medicine, worked with Medical Entomology for a couple of years and took a Ph.D on Lepidoptera Systematics & Biology.
I LOVE SYSTEMATICS & Natural History... Most of the work I perform is research on larval food-plants and immature butterfly ecology... 90% of my data is NOT published, yet (difficult to find a job with butterfly and moth taxonomy!)

I already have a Picasa Web Album, with nature photos of both addult and imature stages of Lepidoptera (butterflies):
picasaweb.google.com/doxocopa
so I will avoid duplicating my web albums, however I might up-load some habitat photos and plants on Flickr
If you have a good reason to justify moving all my albums to here, just drop me a line. Thank you!

From time to time I also work as consultant in Butterfly Farming as a sustainable development activity for people living near forested areas.
