கிறிஸ் Grinter மூலம், மார்ச் 25 அன்று, 2010% For those who saw the FOX interview with MSU entomologist Dr. Cognato (சரி, for those who didn’t, here it is), you will be interested to hear his side of the story.

கிறிஸ் Grinter மூலம், மார்ச் 25 அன்று, 2010% 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.

Another amazing animal from Hawaii – a completely amphibious caterpillar (published in the March 22 PNAS). While there are a few aquatic Lepidoptera, all of them have gills that keep them restricted to the water (mind you, we are talking only about the larval stage). If their stream dries up, so does the caterpillar. . . . → மேலும் படிக்க: Aquamoth!

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). It happens to be sitting on a beautiful california . . . → மேலும் படிக்க: California Spring
கிறிஸ் Grinter மூலம், on March 19th, 2010% Yet another installment of my favorite series, the genius of the press. 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.

The monarchs have started their spring migration north and you might even see one soon (not exciting if you live in FL or HI where there are year-round residents, or in CA where there are separate overwintering spots). Reports from their winter locations in Mexico however are dismal; with possibly the lowest . . . → மேலும் படிக்க: Off with their heads!

Not the typical butterfly – but this is the protein folding structure from a South American hemorrhagic fever – the Machupo virus. The article was found on Science Daily. A striking resemblance to a butterfly, maybe even a Hesperiidae (photo from Butterflies of America).

கிறிஸ் Grinter மூலம், on March 6th, 2010% Because I would have been subjected to this. Talk about animal cruelty! சரி, 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. Well that turns out not to be true, they chose Rush . . . → மேலும் படிக்க: அதிர்ஷ்டவசமாக, I’m not a beetle
