To me ne bo pustil pri miru

Po mojem dnevno vozi nazaj v Berkeley, To sem opazila (Opravičilo za Cruddy slike). Dejansko, Videl sem peščica teh pop up okrog San Franciscu in zaradi tega želim trgati moje lase ven vsakič. Za tiste, ki so novi na moj blog, To sega nazaj do mojega genij . . . → Preberite več: To me ne bo pustil pri miru

Čas je letel

Wow to je bilo pred nekaj tedni od moje zadnje sporočilo, in sem malo v zadregi, ko je izpustil tako dolgo. Kaj sem počel? Ne cela ne. Ni impresivna zbiranje izleti, nobene nove vrste ali odkritja. Pravzaprav sem sedel na mikroskopom seciranje spolovila ali databasing parazitske muhe. Jaz bom . . . → Preberite več: Čas je letel

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 . . . → Preberite več: 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 . . . → Preberite več: Mid-week Mystery

Monarhova norost

Za redne bralce mojega bloga morda že poznate moje stališče do monarha, but catch up here if you’d like to. Yesterday I came across this article in the LA times – glede prezimovanja kolonij monarhov v Pacific Groveju, CA. Tu zunaj, zahodno od celinske ločnice, there are quite a . . . → Preberite več: Monarhova norost

Genij tiska 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 . . . → Preberite več: Genij tiska 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.

A Disturbing New Trend?

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 . . . → Preberite več: A Disturbing New Trend?
