Ar y ffordd eto

Over the next week and a half I’ll be driving up to Washington state for the annual Lepidopterists’ Cyfarfod Cymdeithas. Mae wedi'i leoli yn nhref trap twristiaid Leavenworth, sef a “thema Bafaria” diorama o siopau cardiau post a chlocsiau. Er na allaf byth ddeall yn iawn apêl trefi â thema, it is something . . . → Darllen Mwy: Ar y ffordd eto

Agosach, cyfrol II

And now for the even more infrequently reoccurring series, vox populi! For those without scarring high school memories of latin class (through no fault of my teacher) I’ll bring you up to speedthe title roughly translates tovoice of the people”. Here is another old e-mail that I’ve been saving. It is a . . . → Darllen Mwy: Agosach, cyfrol II

Genius of the Press VIII

Welcome to volume eight of the inconsistently reoccurring series, Genius y Wasg. I came across this article recently regarding an endemic Puerto Rican butterfly. Who can tell me exactly why this report is misleading? It may be a little trickier than the standard GOP (I suggest discarding any previously associated acronyms with those letters). . . . → Darllen Mwy: Genius of the Press VIII

Y Gwyfyn and Me #12

Welcome to The Moth and Me #12, and my first blog carnival. Despite blogging for a few months I have yet to take a look back and reflect on exactly how I became enamored with lepidoptera in the first place. Remembering a time or location where this happened is impossible, and like . . . → Darllen Mwy: Y Gwyfyn and Me #12

Bioleg o Ghost

Mae'r gwyfyn yn unig yw mor brin fel ei o'r un enw paranormal (ac eithrio ei fod yn real) – mae'n sp Gazoryctra. yn y teulu Hepialidae. Maent yn cynrychioli llinach gwaelodol y Lepidoptera ac yn cael eu hadnabod yn gyffredin fel gwyfynod ysbryd neu gwyfynod cyflym.

Who can see what’s wrong with this article?

Estimates of Global Species Diversity

This recent article in the American Naturalist has taken a second look at some of the famously inflated species estimates, some going high as 100 million (Erwin, 1988). Estimates conducted by the authors indicate that projections above 30 million have probabilities of <0.00001. Their estimated range is more likely to be between 2.5 a . . . → Darllen Mwy: Estimates of Global Species Diversity

Glöynnod Byw Mai (a gwyfyn)

Dim ond ychydig o ddelweddau o leps California cyffredin, a gymerwyd ar hyd yr arfordir ger Santa Cruz ychydig wythnosau yn ôl. Dechrau gweithio fy ffordd trwy ychydig o ôl-groniad lluniau…

Cwis Sul

For the rarely reoccurring quiz series, here is a new image. Who is this moth?

Ydych chi wedi fy ngweld?

I'r rhai Californians sy'n darllen, yn enwedig y rhai yn y de, cadwch lygad am y pry cop bach hardd hwn, Latrodectus geometricus – y weddw frown. Mae arachnolegwyr yn UC Riverside yn monitro lledaeniad y rhywogaeth ymledol hon. Yn eironig mae'n ymddangos nad yw mor beryglus â'n gweddw ddu frodorol. Serch hynny, nid yw . . . → Darllen Mwy: Ydych chi wedi fy ngweld?
