All my friends are insects

Rivers Cuomo wrote me a song. Not bad, but now I think I want that mantis costume for Halloween. And of course I am obliged to point out that earthworms are not insects

Pers yang jenius

Menemukan artikel ini hari ini merawat Doug Yanega di UC Riverside, yang memacu pencarian informasi lebih lanjut. Siapa yang bisa memberitahuku apa itu “bunga-bunga” sebenarnya? 10 menunjuk ke yang pertama untuk menebak dengan benar… atau mungkin hadiah yang luar biasa?

I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. untuk…

This is something I’ve never seen before. Growing up I have always had someone give me some kitsch object with insects on them, even playing cards. Well even last year I got another insect themed tie. (I don’t have the whimsey of PZ Myers and his awesome tie.) Tapi, they were all printed images of . . . → Baca selengkapnya: I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. untuk…

Minggu malam berteriak-teriak: cara hal-hal harus bekerja.

Saya datang di artikel ini hari ini dan itu menempatkan senyum di wajahku. A traveling malaria researcher came across an “elektronik nyamuk repeller” untuk dijual di dalam penerbangan katalog nya. Being an intelligent man, ia menyadari ini adalah total dan mengucapkan BS. He also realized this product probably sells best while in-route to malaria ridden . . . → Baca selengkapnya: Minggu malam berteriak-teriak: cara hal-hal harus bekerja.

Stupid buttefly of the week

Know this butterfly? It’s OK, no one really does. It is in the genus Apodemia (Riodinidae), but the taxonomy of this group is a disasterand don’t even get me started on the subspecies. This specimen was photographed in September, meaning it is most likely to be Apodemia mormo (mormo) based . . . → Baca selengkapnya: Stupid buttefly of the week

Di lapangan

Salah satu fasilitas menjadi seorang entomologi bepergian dan mengumpulkan. Aku meletakkan beberapa ribu mil pada mobil setiap musim panas dan ini adalah dua tempat terbaik di Arizona untuk mengumpulkan.

Kupu-kupu selang waktu

Despite being pretty disinterested in butterflies, they are pretty to look at. Here is a really great video by a guy I know down in Southern CA. His time-lapse videos of lepidoptera life cycles are pretty impressive, and this one in particular is beautiful. If you cut to about 3:00 di, you will see dozens . . . → Baca selengkapnya: Kupu-kupu selang waktu

Oke orang kupu-kupu, siapa saya?

This is an old image of mine, so it’s not perfect. If you can tell me this butterfly to species you get a high-five. If you know the subspecies, I’ll send you a new pack of #3 stainless steel pins! Only hint: It’s from the western USA.

Inaugural post

Jadi, how do I begin a new blog? 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), . . . → Baca selengkapnya: Inaugural post
