Ak chcete znova naštartovať sériu pondelok Moth tu je kráska: Melemaea cupcake (Píďalkovití).
Táto vzácna krása bola predtým známa až z roztrúsených lokalít cez horské západ a len z niekoľkých málo jedincov každý druhý sezóna. 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!
