Hurraren gurgurioa, Curculio nucum. (Arg.: ©entomart)
Hi Ana. It's the guru of Hurra, Curculio nucum. It's Hurra's biggest problem. It's a little insect. Winter passes underground in the form of a worm, comes out as it has come in spring and feeds on small hazelnuts and new leaves and sprouts. Between May and September, adults expect to introduce new eggs into tender hazelnuts, one for each. There, a worm will be formed and the hazelnut will be eaten inside. Then they will dig a hole and go to bury to spend the winter. In the subsoil they can stay for up to three years. They like wet and fresh places.

I'm not a mouse, I'm not a topo; I'm a mousetrap.
When you hear the word mammal, often the first representatives that come to mind are the biggest ones: the bear, the wolf, the deer… Sometimes the first ones to appear are the domesticated cat or the dog, or distant lions and elephants. Spectacularity usually gains competition... [+]

Pea hearing
We will soon have delicious pea tears all year round (Pisum sativum). But it is still winter and spring, the season of fresh peas almost entirely; now begins the planting of the last peas we will eat in spring. And now we're going to eat those who sowed towards October.

Gold in the head, most in aquaculture

Where is the people?
The boundary between micro and macro concepts is diffuse, and although interaction is diffuse, it also influences. Also in us. The problem comes when in the fog blindness we don't get right where we are, where the people are.
