Besterik ez da, ez utzi pakean

Nire eguneroko Absys Berkeleyko atzera, Ikusi dut honen (the cruddy irudi apologies). Benetan, Ikusi dut horien eskukada bat irekiko San Francisco inguruan eta nire ilea alderik aldi bakoitzean nahi me egiten du. Horiek nire blog berria nor dira egiteko, honek atzera egingo nire Genio izateko . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Besterik ez da, ez utzi pakean

Denbora flown

Wow Da aste gutxi izan da nire azken post geroztik, eta pixka bat lotsatzen ondoren utzi hain luze joan naiz. Zer dut ibili den? Ez osotasunean ez. No ikusgarria biltzeko bidaiak, no espezie edo aurkikuntza berriak. Benetan izan dut mikroskopio baten genitalian dissecting eserita edo parasito euli guneko datu baseak dut. Egingo daukat . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Denbora flown

Genius of the Press XII

Another not all that difficult GOP challenge, found here from the Scottish TV website. What’s wrong with the story below?

A Bit of British Humo(u)r

A short clip from the brilliant show, Quite Interesting. The start of the discussion is in regards to cochineal bugsalthough they refer to them as beetles! (see buggirl)

A Sierran Spider

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 . . . → Gehiago irakurri: A Sierran Spider

Mid-week Mystery

While I work on a more substantial post, you can name this butterflyand the plant should be pretty easy too. Extra bonus if you can guess the county (state won’t be too impressive) in which I took this photo. This was pre-DSLR, but my old beat up canon point-and-shoot did manage to get . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Mid-week Mystery

Monarch Madness

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 timesregarding the overwintering colonies of monarchs in Pacific Grove, beraz, ezin dut esan. Out here, west of the continental divide, there are quite a . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Monarch Madness

Genius of the Press XI

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 imagesand 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, there . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Genius of the Press XI

I’ve been a little behind

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.

Joera berri kezkagarria?

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 dayand can even number in the thousands of specimens. I myself have a few hundred moths out on loan from a handful of . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Joera berri kezkagarria?
