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… [vimeo=14822451] Came across this article today care of Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, which spurred the search for further information. Who can tell me what those “flowers” actually are? 10 points to the first to guess correctly… or maybe some awesome prize? [youtube = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHdKEhFM7mY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0] 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.)

A viagem pesquisador malária deparei com um “repeller mosquito eletrônicos” para venda no seu catálogo em voo. Sendo um homem inteligente, ele percebeu que este era total e absoluta BS.

Aqui é realmente um grande vídeo por um cara que eu conheço no CA Southern. Seus vídeos de lapso de tempo dos ciclos de vida dos Lepidoptera são bastante impressionantes, e este em particular é bonito.

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!

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), . . . → Leia mais: Inaugural post |
