Pornografija z metulji

Here is a hill-topping male Papilio zeliacon, ali janežev lastov rep. Ta metulj je zelo razširjen v državah zahodnega Pacifika in je verjetno veliko bolj pogost kot nekoč.

Moral bi začeti polniti

v redu, 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”.

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? Ki, the information section of the california flat rate moving website is not exactly a source of top notch journalism

Tokrat, z molj

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 . . . → Preberite več: Tokrat, z molj

Samo bar v mestu

Par za tečaj, le cvetoče rastline okoli bil lahkotnico (Marrubium vulgare). Kljub tujerodnih rastlinskih in (semi)mega-favna, žuželke so bile še vedno doma.
