Per Chris Grinter, el 12 d'octubre, 2010% En el meu viatge diari de tornada a Berkeley, He descobert aquest (disculpes per la imatge bruta). En realitat, He vist un grapat d'aquests pop-up al voltant de Sant Francesc i em donen ganes de arrencar els pèls cada vegada que. Per a aquells que són nous en el meu blog, això es remunta al meu Geni de . . . → Llegir més: És només que no em deixa en pau
Per Chris Grinter, el 5 d'octubre, 2010% Wow que han passat unes setmanes des del meu últim post, i estic una mica avergonyit d'haver deixar-lo anar tant de temps. Què he estat fent? No és un no a tot. No hi ha impressionants viatges de recol · lecció, cap espècie o descobriments nous. En realitat he estat assegut en un microscopi de dissecció genitals o databasing mosques parasitàries. Vaig a tenir . . . → Llegir més: El temps ha volat
Per Chris Grinter, on September 17th, 2010% Another not all that difficult GOP challenge, found here from the Scottish TV website. What’s wrong with the story below?
Per Chris Grinter, on September 15th, 2010% A short clip from the brilliant show, Quite Interesting. The start of the discussion is in regards to cochineal bugs – although they refer to them as beetles! (see buggirl)
Per Chris Grinter, on September 14th, 2010% A weekend without moths can lead a lepidopterist to do crazy things. Crazy enough to photograph a spider. Over the weekend I was accompanied to the eastern Sierra by fellow insect blogger, coworker and arachnologist, Tamas Szuts. I was on the quest for more specimens of a new Hepialidae of which you may be familiar . . . → Llegir més: Un serren Aranya
Per Chris Grinter, on September 8th, 2010% Mentre treballo en un post més substancial, podeu anomenar aquesta papallona – i la planta també hauria de ser bastant fàcil. Bonificació addicional si podeu endevinar el comtat (l'estat no serà massa impressionant) en què vaig fer aquesta foto. Això era pre-DSLR, but my old beat up canon point-and-shoot did manage to get . . . → Llegir més: Misteri de mitja setmana
Per Chris Grinter, on September 6th, 2010% For regular readers of my blog you might already know my stance on the monarch, but catch up here if you’d like to. Yesterday I came across this article in the LA times – regarding the overwintering colonies of monarchs in Pacific Grove, Califòrnia. Out here, west of the continental divide, there are quite a . . . → Llegir més: Monarch Bogeria
Per Chris Grinter, on August 27th, 2010% This genius of the press is extra special, not for its difficulty, but for its redundancy. I found the same story carried on two separate sources, with different images – and both equally incorrect! I can imagine that it won’t take long for someone to point out exactly what’s wrong with these stories (hint, allà . . . → Llegir més: Genius of the Press XI
Per Chris Grinter, on August 24th, 2010% And while I catch up you can watch some creepy Isabella Rossellini re-enact the mating strategies of a bedbug. You should also read, if you haven’t caught it already, the excellent bedbug article written by the distinguished (and my former professor) May Berenbaum.

Pictured is a black-veined white (Aporia crataegi ssp), and it is currently being returned to the Korean Institute of Biological Resources. Loans get returned, as they should be, every day – and can even number in the thousands of specimens. I myself have a few hundred moths out on loan from a handful of . . . → Llegir més: Una nova tendència inquietant?
