Genius of the Press X

This one is just too easy. Il-billboard jinsab fuq I-35 fin-nofsinhar ta 'Burleson, Texas.

Ma nafx il-provenjenza vera ta 'din l-immaġni, imma wasal tiegħi minn Omar Bocanegra permezz ta’ Mike Quinn fuq il-lista-serv ta’ Texas Lepidoptera.

Monsters Muppet

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 . . . → Aqra Aktar: Monsters Muppet

Porn Butterfly

Here is a hill-topping male Papilio zeliacon, jew swallowtail Anisi. Dan farfett hija mifruxa fl-istati tal-Paċifiku tal-Punent u huwa probabbilment ħafna aktar komuni milli kienet darba. Wara l-introduzzjoni ta 'bużbież (Vulgare Foeniculum), u ħarba sussegwenti mill-ortikultura, il swallowtail anisi ħa istiva bħala farfett California komuni. Perhaps before this . . . → Aqra Aktar: Porn Butterfly

Iva, Repubblikani Must Hatě Me Too.

Fuq fuq Myrmecos Alex Selvaġġ biss jinġiebu għall-attenzjoni tiegħi attakk pjuttost personali minn par ta 'senaturi repubblikani (Tom Coburn, R-Okla., u John McCain, R-Ariz). Għal darb'oħra I bdew jikkummentaw, iżda minħabba kif viċin id-dar din hits, I felt a diatribe itwal tul għal xejn b'xejn toqrob…

Apparentement, xogħol tiegħi huwa skart ġgant . . . → Aqra Aktar: Iva, Repubblikani Must Hatě Me Too.

Aħbarijiet inutli, din id-darba minn Nature

Frisk off-iskrivanija ta 'l-Aħbarijiet Natura huwa karatteristika jaħsbu dinja mingħajr mosquitos (jew -toes). Kif dan huwa aħbar? Forsi hemm xi kontroll tal-vettur ġdida aħna lkoll jeħtieġ li tisma 'dwar! ukoll, jiċċekkjaw il--artikolu mill-aħħar edizzjoni tan-Natura titolat “A World Mingħajr Nemus“.

I għandha tibda iċċarġjar

kollox sew, maybe not. 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 forinsect spreading classes”. I wonder how many really show up to the monthly class? This just in, Chris Grinter is offering an insect spreading . . . → Aqra Aktar: I għandha tibda iċċarġjar

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? Mogħtija, 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 . . . → Aqra Aktar: This time, with a moth

The only bar in town

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 . . . → Aqra Aktar: The only bar in town

Western 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. ukoll, 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 . . . → Aqra Aktar: Western Arizona
