Saül is a magnificent wilderness area. In the center of French Guiana, it's a Dipterist's paradise. If you can, do it. |

French Guiana as a whole is brilliant - even just inland from the well-developed coastal strip. I went there in 2000 (see following photos) and it was superb - very comfortable hotels, SUV hire cars with air-con etc, primary forest within a short drive, lots of secondary habitats. The only problem is that it is quite expensive because everything is imported. I dunno who this young chap might be (photos by Andrew Neild, author of the Butterflies of Venezuela series) Edited by ChrisR on 04-01-2009 11:43 |

Can I volunteer to be the diptera.info representative? You can send me out there (all expenses paid) and I promise to collect everything I see with 2 wings and then send them back to whoever wants I will even provide my own Malaise trap, nets and specimen bottles

you still need someone to photograph the specimens ehehe Hence we should reserve a big airplane. I wish ryanair could give special promotions and add this route for all dipteran lovers. |

At least they're also working with malaise traps... Anyone interested might try to contact them I suppose. Best regards, Scarabaeoid Edited by Auke on 30-10-2012 21:28 |
