Para os que viron a entrevista de FOX co entomólogo da MSU Dr. Cuñado (Ok, para os que non o fixeron, aquí está), interesarache escoitar a súa versión da historia. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v = m7f52y4Nq4E&feature=player_embedded] Tómese o tempo para rexistrarse (perdón, é molesto pero non o atopei en ningún outro sitio) and read a response to the interview by . . . → Ler máis: E agora xa sabes o resto da historia Comparte este!I came across the full-text PDF of the amphibious moth article and extracted the tree showing the radiation of this species group and probable evolution of the amphibious traits. Interesting to note the case shape, and each moth is endemic to its own volcano in the Hawaiian archipelago. This is a Bayesian analysis of . . . → Ler máis: Parte de Aquamoth 2 Comparte este!For all those who abstained from voting (I want to assume some readers must have known the identity of our mystery caterpillar, but were too lazy to comment), here is the answer (after the break).

Un comentario - (Os comentarios están pechados)  Entomologia  Competición, Entomologia, Lepidoptera, Medios Outro animal incrible de Hawai – a completely amphibious caterpillar (publicado en marzo 22 PNAS). Aínda que hai algúns lepidópteros acuáticos, todas teñen branquias que as manteñen restrinxidas á auga (fíxate, estamos a falar só do estadio larvario). Se o seu regueiro seca, tamén o fai a eiruga. . . . → Ler máis: Aquamoth! Comparte este!Spring has come to northern California and moths are on the wing. I took a quick trip up to the Sierra foothills over the weekend and hiked up the steep slopes above the American River. Above is pictured Xanthothrix ranunculi f. albipuncta (Noctuidae: Stiriinae).

This article comes from ABC news, who can identify this caterpillar? It is decidedly NOT a gypsy moth. Fellow entomology blogger Myrmecos had a similar story last week. Comparte este!

Talk about animal cruelty! Ok, just kidding, but this story is a bit ridiculous. The article states that the scientists had used the voice of Limbaugh because it was “readily available”, not because they hated him.
