Para reavivar la serie Monday Moth aquí hay una maravilla: melemaea magdalena (Polilla geómetra).
Esta rara belleza anteriormente solo se conocía en localidades dispersas en el oeste montañoso y solo en unos pocos individuos cada dos temporadas.. That is until Denver Museum volunteer Barbara Bartell began inventorying moths on her property near Golden Gate Canyon State Park in the Rocky Mountain front range. Over 8,000′ these moths turn out to be a regular visitor at her cabin blacklight and we now have the largest series known of this stunning species (and all perfectly curated!).
That’s a beautiful moth – even in the eyes of a coleopterist!
