Debemos aprovechar cada oportunidad sea para una buena foto o para un buen registro que aumente las especies para una localidad, departamento o pa&iacute;s. O inclusive una nueva especie para la ciencia.<br /><br />En el ejemplo a continuaci&oacute;n vemos un Hesp&eacute;rido <em>Phocides perillus </em>que fue tomado con un Samsung S7 que es un buen registro para agregar la especie al municipio de Jard&iacute;n y adem&aacute;s con una calidad que permite agregarla la base de datos Biobutterfly.<br /><br />Tambi&eacute;n la foto de Daniel Piedrahita del Riod&iacute;nido <em>Menander hebrus </em>en la Reserva Natural La Isla Escondida en selvas del Putumayo tomada desde lejos con un IPhone que aunque no tiene mucha calidad es suficiente para identificar la especie y permite registrar en la base de datos esta especie para la localidad.</font><br /><br /></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
