And of course I am obliged to point out that earthworms are not insects… [vimeo=14822451] Came across this article today care of Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, which spurred the search for further information.

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.

Podróżujący badacz malarii natknął się na “elektroniczny odstraszacz komarów” na sprzedaż w swoim katalogu pokładowym. Bycie inteligentnym człowiekiem, zdał sobie sprawę, że to było całkowite i całkowite BS.

Tak, 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, Kalifornia. The massive wingspan, at 15mm, makes it pretty large for a Gelechiid moth. The genus, Gnorimoschema (pronounced nor-a-mosh-ma), . . . → Czytaj więcej: Inaugural post |
