Hi all !
Some of you asked me about some photos and details, so here you go...
Okay, the start was pretty stressful - missed flight, rent a car company forgot about us, then they were playing something with my passport. But at the end ( it took 10 hours ) we got out of Marrakesh. Our plan ( MY plan ) was do first the North, then South, but we changed it, so this is how it was. Marrakesh > Tizi `n Test > Taroudant > Agadir > Tiznit > Tafraoute > Tata > Quarzazate > Errachidia > Midelt > Azrou > Oulmes > Beni Mellal > Marrakesh.
First few das we had really hot weather. The temperature was around 45 C day time, so the days were like collect in the morning, then hide all day, then late afternoon/night collecting again. I have managed it 3 days, then I almost collapsed, so that was it over the day...Insect was changed for beer and restaurants.
Low altitude places were full, I mean really FULL of Insect. It looked dry, dead, but...I have never seen so much living things together. Higher, around 1500 m and up, it was too early. Except some dung beetles, Meloe and Dorcadions almost nothing. Tizi `n Test was just at the start, Col Du Zad - very early spring, Azrou - first spring species. So, most of the time we were in lowlands, but that was something. Every plant, every tree, under every stone...thousands and thousands of Insect !
A few more worlds - I can easily say, that this was the most productive ento expedition I ever had + the most funniest time I had with my amico italiano
