My first goal has been to take pictures of the herpetofauna but I’ve also taken pictures of some arachnids. These animals are quite common on the island and there are many species of scorpions, spiders and other amazing subjects. I’ve been able to name only some of them as I’m not a specialist of this group but I’m working to assign them their right specific name.
