Galápagos 2004 > Galápagos > Plants

Some kind of locust tree in Puerto Ayora. If you google "locust" for the Galápagos you will come up with a very pretty grasshopper called the Painted Locust, Schistocerca melanocera. We saw one of these as well, but maybe our picture didn't turn out. It's fortunate that so many hundreds of tourists have put up websites for their Galapagos trips. The web is ever a Library of Babel wherein any particular missing page, such as the first 800 mirror sites of the Dysfunctional Family Circus, can be taken down by lawyers or nonpayment of dues and the remaining 29,000 will be almost like it.
