Visi mani draugi ir kukaiņi

Rivers Cuomo uzrakstīja man dziesmu. Nav slikti, bet tagad es domāju, ka es gribu, ka mantis kostīms par Halloween. Un, protams, es esmu pateicīgs norādīt, ka sliekas nav kukaiņi…

Preses ģēnijs

Came across this article today care of Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, which spurred the search for further information. Kurš var man pateikt, kas tiem “ziedi” actually are? 10 norāda uz pirmo uzminēt pareizi… vai varbūt kādu laba balva?

Es došu jums manu Ken Griffey Jr. uz…

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.) Bet, they were all printed images of . . . → Lasīt vairāk: Es došu jums manu Ken Griffey Jr. uz…

Sunday night rant: the way things should work.

I came across this article today and it put a smile on my face. A traveling malaria researcher came across anelectronic mosquito repellerfor sale in his in-flight catalog.

Stupid buttefly of the week

Time-lapse butterflies

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 iekšā, you will see dozens . . . → Lasīt vairāk: Time-lapse butterflies

OK butterfly people, who am I?

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.

Tā, kā es varu sākt jaunu blogu? Grūts jautājums, bet varbūt tas ir labs laiks, lai dižoties jautru jaunas sugas. Šis kode tika savākti pagājušajā gadā ārpus Santa Barbara, PIEMĒRAM,.
