The Tupi people, one of the main ethnic groups of Brazilian indigenous people, believe in a male supernatural being called “Curupira” that guards the forest in Tupi mythology. I crowned this BLOG with his name because I aspire the BLOG, which deals with insects as part of the nature, to play a role just like Curupira who protects the forest from the destructive habits of man.

After my legal counsel had some bargaining with the court, the insect specimens that I had recovered from INPA the other day escaped another seizure, at least for the present ; so, I re-opened ...
the Museum this afternoon following the elapse of an agonizing week.
However, that doesn't necessarily mean a fundamental solution to the problem because the court has just issued a stay of execution.
The fate of the invaluable specimens rests on negotiations with the court, which is expected to take place in the future.
