Genius of the Press X

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.

Muppet Monsters

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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: Muppet Monsters

Here is a hill-topping male Papilio zeliacon, sau anason rândunicii. Acest fluture este larg răspândită în statele din Pacific de Vest și este, probabil, mult mai frecvent decat a fost odata. După introducerea de fenicul (Foeniculum vulgare), și scape ulterior de horticultură, rândunicii anason apucat ca un fluture comun California.

Da, Republicanii să mă urăsc.

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

Aparent, my job is a giant waste . . . → Citeste mai mult: Da, Republicanii să mă urăsc.

Veste fără rost, de data aceasta din Natură

Proaspăt de pe biroul Nature News este o caracteristică care se gândește la o lume fără țânțari (sau -degetele de la picioare). Cum e vestea asta? Poate că există un nou control vectorial despre care trebuie să auzim cu toții! Bine, consultați articolul din cea mai recentă ediție a revistei Nature intitulat “O lume fără țânțari“.

Eu ar trebui să înceapă de încărcare

Bine, Poate nu. Dar am primit un pic gelos când am dat peste acest articol unde am descoperit un local de San Francisco, artist care se încarcă $60 un pop pentru “insectă de raspandire clase”. Mă întreb câți arată într-adevăr până la clasa lunar? Acest lucru doar în, Chris Grinter ofera o insectă răspândire . . . → Citeste mai mult: Eu ar trebui să înceapă de încărcare

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? acordat, 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: 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. Bine, 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: Western Arizona
