Cestující výzkumník malárie narazil na “elektronický odpuzovač komárů” k prodeji v jeho palubním katalogu. Být inteligentním mužem, uvědomil si, že to byla úplná a naprostá BS.

This specimen was photographed in September, meaning it is most likely to be Apodemia mormo (mormo) based . . . → Přečtěte si více: Stupid buttefly of the week Sdílet tento!One of the perks of being an entomologist is traveling and collecting.

Tough question, but perhaps this is a good time to show off a fun new species. This moth was collected last year outside of Santa Barbara, CA. The massive wingspan, at 15mm, makes it pretty large for a Gelechiid moth. The genus, Gnorimoschema (pronounced nor-a-mosh-ma), . . . → Přečtěte si více: Inaugural post Sdílet tento! |
