Butterfly kisasi

Plebejus Samuels

Sisi wote aliona siku hii kuja, kupanda ya vipepeo, siku wao kuchukua kisasi juu ya us. Hakuna tena wao passively kuruka karibu na makazi yao kama wao ni bulldozed kwa makubwa na unajisi kwa kurudiwa. Karner Blue mwenye hasira haswa amewasilisha barua kwa . . . → Soma Zaidi: Butterfly kisasi

Schinia villosa

 

This Monday’s moth is a duo of Schinia villosa (Noctuidae) resting on what I am assuming is their host plant (Erigeron sp.). I snapped this shot around 9,000 feet up on the Kaibab plateau in Northern Arizona last month. A fire must have burned the area a few years ago . . . → Soma Zaidi: Jumatatu nondo

Wadudu wa Philippines I

Mwezi mmoja uliopita au zaidi Chuo cha Sayansi cha California kilianzisha safari kamili ya kwenda Ufilipino. Wakati pesa nyingi zilitumika kwenye meli ya kukamata na timu za kupiga mbizi, kulikuwa na sehemu ya nchi kavu. Wakati sikuweza kwenda (na kukaa nyumbani na kupiga kelele), Nilizungumza baadhi . . . → Soma Zaidi: Wadudu wa Philippines I

Wiki iliyopita Jim Hayden guessed nondo mimi posted mara ya Australia Oecophoridae. Ilikuwa nadhani nzuri kwa sababu kuna mengi makubwa na stunning nondo katika familia hii kutoka Australia. Moja ya bora ina kuwa hii moja, Wingia lambertella (Oecophoridae), alitekwa katika Black Mountain katika Canberra Oktoba 23, 1955 (CAS makusanyo). . . . → Soma Zaidi: Jumatatu nondo

Genius ya Press XX

GOP hii haina changamoto na ni mkusanyo rahisi wa upigaji picha za hisa. Alex Wild na wengine kwa muda mrefu wameelezea mapungufu makubwa ya tovuti nyingi za picha za hisa – lakini hapa kuna muhtasari mfupi na chungu wa lep roundup kwa kutumia Google.

JIBU: Hii haikuwa rahisi – lakini nondo huyu mkubwa na mzuri alitoka Australia na yuko katika familia Xyloryctidae (Philarista sp.). Tunao wawakilishi wachache wa kundi hili hapa Marekani na Ted MacRae kule kwenye Beetles in the Bush ana picha chache zao nzuri.. Kwa namna fulani nadhani sisi . . . → Soma Zaidi: Jumatatu nondo

Mende Mwenye Mabawa Ya Wavu

These large and interesting Lycidae beetles (Lycus fernandezi) were abundant in south eastern Arizona a few weeks ago. Constantly flying between flowers and moist sand they were making for easy photography targets. I thought to myselfhere is a great opportunity to catch a beetle taking off!”.

Nondo Anayecheza

Hapa kuna video nyingine nzuri kutoka kwa Warren! Nadhani hii ni Choreutidae kwa sababu ya jinsi mbawa zinavyoshikwa wakati wa kucheza – ingawa ni haraka sana kupata sura wazi. Ikizingatiwa kuwa inatoka kwa wanyama ambao siwafahamu kabisa naweza kukosea kwa urahisi – so please correct me . . . → Soma Zaidi: Nondo Anayecheza

Naba zamu Samaki na Wanyamapori katika brainless Zombies

Safi mbali mashinikizo, Miami Blue Butterfly (MBB) sasa waliotajwa kama federally hatarini kwa kitendo cha utoaji wa dharura. Huzzah! (haki?)

Miami Blue Butterfly kutoka Butterflies ya Amerika

Mawazo yangu ya kwanza ilikuwa “kusubiri, ilikuwa si hii tayari hatarini?”. Ndiyo, anarudi nje MBB imekuwa hali-hatarini tangu 2002 after a previous emergency . . . → Soma Zaidi: Naba zamu Samaki na Wanyamapori katika brainless Zombies

This week’s moth is a video of a dancing micro from the Philippines (taken by Warren Laurde). As you might suspect this is a mating display that ends in a pretty spectacular headstand. There are lots of other microleps that have dancing or display behavior, but there are almost no other videos online . . . → Soma Zaidi: Jumatatu nondo
