Genius of the Press X

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.

Muppet Monstrai

I stumbled upon (not on stumbleupon) these colored SEM images on the Telegraph webpage today. I especially love this image of a Calliphoridae larva (Protophormia sp.) that seems more out of a C-rated science fiction movie than nature. It reminds me of both a freakish Star Wars character and a Muppet at the same . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Muppet Monstrai

Drugelis pornografija

Here is a hill-topping male Papilio zeliacon, arba anyžių buriuotojas. Tai drugelis yra plačiai paplitęs Vakarų Ramiojo vandenyno valstybių ir tikriausiai daug daugiau bendro, nei ji kažkada buvo. Po to, kai pankolio įvedimo (Daucus carota), ir vėliau pabėgti nuo sodininkystės, anyžių buriuotojas nutvėrė kaip bendras Kalifornijos drugelis.

Taip, Respublikonai Turi Hate Me Too.

Over on Myrmecos Alex Wild just brought to my attention a rather personal attack from a pair of republican senators (Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and John McCain, R-Ariz). Once again I started to comment, but given how close to home this hits, I felt a longer winded diatribe approaching

Matyt, my job is a giant waste . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Taip, Respublikonai Turi Hate Me Too.

Beprasmiška naujiena, Šį kartą iš gamtos

Šviežias nuo „Nature News“ stalo yra savybė, apmąstanti pasaulį be uodų (arba -To). Kaip šios naujienos? Galbūt yra keletas naujų vektorių valdymo, apie kurį visi turime išgirsti!

Turėčiau pradėti apmokestinimo

Gerai, o gal ir ne. Bet aš gauti tiek pavydi, kai aš atėjau per šį straipsnį, kai atradau vietos San Francisco menininkas, kuris kraunasi $60 POP “vabzdžių plitimo klases”. Įdomu, kiek iš tikrųjų parodyti mėnesinį klasės? Tai tik, Chrisas Grinter siūlo vabzdį plinta . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Turėčiau pradėti apmokestinimo

Genius of the Press IX

Just about time for another volume of Genius of the Press. Who will be first to spot the error here? Suteikta, the information section of the california flat rate moving website is not exactly a source of top notch journalism

This time, with a moth

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 . . . → Skaityti daugiau: This time, with a moth

Tik baras mieste

In eastern Lassen county, on the vast high juniper hills of the California-Nevada border, there are herds ofwildhorses, 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. Being the only nectar source, the small . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Tik baras mieste

Vakarų Arizona

A few months ago I was out collecting in western Arizona and failed to follow through with any images or updates on that trip. Gerai, it was a success and well worth the miles to get there! I was searching for a Crambid moth in the mountains of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge (special thanks . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Vakarų Arizona
