Description: To differentiate an Aspisoma hesperum from an Aspisoma lineatum, one would need a dichotomous key; however, due to the geographical location, it is possible to speculate the identity with a certain confidence, even if not absolute. They are mostly diurnal and are seen visiting flowers and plants in general. Given their foul smell, birds do not predate them as they are equally unpallatable; some insects do not seem to care, though. As larvae, they are vicious predators of snails. The feeding habits of the adult, - or lack of - , after thorough research, were uncertain. Some sources claimed they did feed on some flowers, while others claimed that they were seen regularly visiting Passiflora and others said they don't feed at all. The reliability of these studies are unknown to me, and may be doubtful. The larvae of Aspisoma are vicious predators of snails, setting themselves in an important step in the food chain. More than one larva can feed on the same snail at the same time. The Aspisoma fireflies belong in the order Coleoptera, suborder Polyphaga, infraorder Elateriformia, superfamily Elateroidea, family Lampyridae, subfamily Lampyrinae and, doubtfully, in the tribe Cratomorphini, but might be disassembled later into the tribe Lampyrini.
Feeding type: Larvae are predators. The adult's feeding habits are arguable, as they have been quoted in studies in a variety of situations: from not eating at all, to eating flowers and as habitual visitors to Passiflora and perhaps other plants. The reliability of these studies may be doubtful. It is known that many species of adult Lampyrids do not feed at all, but due to this great divergence in information, the feeding habits of the adult of Aspisoma are unknown to me.

The Carnival of Brazil (Portuguese: Carnaval, IPA: [kaʁnaˈvaw]) is an annual festival held during the Friday to the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent, the forty-day period before Easter. On certain days of Lent, Roman Catholics and some other Christians traditionally abstained from the consumption of meat and poultry, hence the term "carnival," from carnelevare, "to remove (literally, "raise") meat." Carnival has roots in the pagan festival of Saturnalia, which, adapted to Catholicism became a farewell to well things in a season of religious discipline to practice repentance and prepare for Christ's death and resurrection.
Rhythm, participation, and costumes vary from one region of Brazil to another. In the southeastern cities of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Vitória, huge organized parades are led by samba schools. Those official parades are meant to be watched by the public, while minor parades ("blocos") allowing public participation can be found in other cities. The northeastern cities of Recife, Olinda, Salvador and Porto Seguro have organized groups parading through streets, and public interacts directly with them. This carnival is also influenced by African-Brazilian culture. It's a six-day party where crowds follow the trios elétricos through the city streets, dancing and singing. Also in northeast, Olinda carnival features unique characteristics, heavily influenced by local folklore and cultural manifestations, such as Frevo and Maracatu.
The typical genres of music of Brazilian carnival are, in Rio de Janeiro (and Southeast Region in general): the samba-enredo, the samba de bloco, the samba de embalo and the marchinha; in Pernambuco and Bahia (and Northeast Region in general) the main genres are: the frevo, the maracatu, the samba-reggae and Axé music.
Carnival is the most famous holiday in Brazil and has become an event of huge proportions. Except for industrial production, retail establishments such as malls, and carnival-related businesses, the country stops completely for almost a week and festivities are intense, day and night, mainly in coastal cities Rio de Janeiro's carnival alone drew 4.9 million people in 2011, with 400,000 being foreigners.

Abeokuta.
Afro-Brazilian architecture: a fusion of cultures.
Unique to Abeokuta, the return of those once enslaved resulted in the creation and the development of the Yoruba Africa-Brazilian style, wich appropiated and integrated Yoruba homes in a hybrid that reflected and physically accomodated old and new cultural practices.

According to this site: www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/brazilian-candles/br...
Brazilian candle plant needs temperatures of 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (15-26 C.) for best growth but can survive temperatures down to 30 and 40 F. (-1 to 4 C).
It will produce the best blooms in warm, humid conditions and can handle any light except full shade. Brighter lighting will increase blooming. Place the plant in a greenhouse, sunny window or even a sunroom and it will likely bloom for you for many seasons.
