This one is just too easy. The billboard is on I-35 south of Burleson, Texas.

I don’t know the true provenance of this image, but it came my way from Omar Bocanegra via Mike Quinn on the Texas Lepidoptera list-serv. Ich bin darüber gestolpert (nicht auf stolpern) these colored SEM images on the Telegraph webpage today. Ich liebe besonders dieses Bild einer Calliphoridae-Larve (Protophormia sp.) das scheint mehr aus einem Science-Fiction-Film mit C-Rating als aus der Natur zu stammen.

Dieser Schmetterling ist in den westlichen Pazifikstaaten weit verbreitet und wahrscheinlich viel häufiger als früher. Nach der Einführung von Fenchel (Gewöhnlicher Fenchel), und anschließende Flucht aus dem Gartenbau, Der Anis-Schwalbenschwanz etablierte sich als gewöhnlicher kalifornischer Schmetterling.

Fresh off the desk of the Nature News is a feature pondering a world without mosquitos (or -toes). How is this news? Perhaps there is some new vector control we all need to hear about!

But I did get a little jealous when I came across this article where I discovered a local San Francisco artist who is charging $60 a pop for “insect spreading classes”.

Who will be first to spot the error here? Zugegeben, the information section of the california flat rate moving website is not exactly a source of top notch journalism… Here are a few more images from my recent northern road trip, this time from western Idaho. Right outside the town of New Meadows were fields of flowers thick with life. It was some of the best day collecting I’ve done in years, and fellow road tripper Peter Jump and I discovered this . . . → Weiterlesen: This time, with a moth In eastern Lassen county, on the vast high juniper hills of the California-Nevada border, there are herds of “wild” horses, sheep and cattle. Par for the course, the only flowering plant around was horehound (Marrubium vulgare). Despite the non-native flora and (semi)mega-fauna, the insects were still at home.
