All these native plants (Opuntia, not the Asparagus)
It looks like, you step on hugyi everytime you out in the field - great

I like the completely green bilineata - looks similar to the Sicilian specimen.

[Francesco Tri]

Thanks to all!!

Hi hi hi, Mario: infact, to protect myself by a million vipers and their bites, when I walk out I used this gum-boots, in the morning

and this in the evening

Seriously: it is now very difficult to find hugyi in Puglia!

Not there are more appropriate areas, and forest fires, birds of prey, wild boars and the man had almost exterminated them all.

Small populations exist are very far from each other, and this also causes genetic impoverishment.

Francesco, I would be very lucky to be on a field trip with you in the evening hours
