Alfredo Ugarte

One person that I admire is Alfredo Ugarte. I watched this man in a TV Show a lot of years ago, I was just a kid when enjoyed his adventures all Fridays in “La ley de la selva”.

He is an Entomologist, it mean that he investigate the insects, but I remember that he travel a lot of places and show different animals, talk and try to teach about them, not only insects. He is a very charismatic person, was so friendly and funny to see in TV. Sometimes he put spiders in his body or eats some insect, how I was a kid it amazed me much.

The ultimate new that I know of him is that they describe a kind of butterfly that was been discovered in 1994, but it wasn’t describe, so he go to Illapel, climb the mountain and found it!, the Hypsochila Pelambres. He was very happy for this, because nobody could has seen this insect after the discovered, so they think that it specie could be died or something.

I would  like see him on television again, what you say?
