Enamasti kärbsed ei ole putukas ma saan liiga elevil. Siiski, mõistatusliku pere Acroceridae on erand. Ma alustan jagada mõningaid huvitavaid perekondade aeg-ajalt – morfoloogia pere on hämmastavalt mitmekesine. Enamik minu päeva . . . → Loe edasi: Kärbsed võib olla (tegelikult) jahe
Chris Grinter, 22. märtsil, 2011% Usually I come across horrible entomology articles regularly enough that I save a backlog for future series. This hasn’t been the case over the last few weeks, I haven’t come across the normal array of terrible media crud. Maybe I just get jaded and stop looking as carefully – but this week I even came . . . → Loe edasi: Genius of the Press XVII

Homme hommikul olen maha 10 päev kogudes reisi alla Catalina Island. Olen olnud õnn olla kutsutud liituma Dr. Jerry Powell UC Berkeley kohta ööliblikas uuring, ja see on minu esimene kord ükskõik saared. . . . → Loe edasi: Moth on väljas Catalina

Apparently something in the Mazda 6 fuel line is warm and inviting for the yellow sac spider, enough so that they are building webs over the vent systems of the 4 cylinder vehicles (and not the 6!). The problem has been deemed a “spider infestation” by the car company, ja . . . → Loe edasi: Nature bites back

The family Nepticulidae hold some of the smallest moths known, ranging from 3-8mm wing-tip to wing-tip. For a comparison I have imaged two moths above: the largest known – Coscinocera hercules that tips the scales at nearly 9 inches, and one of the smallest (yes that tiny little speck . . . → Loe edasi: Kõige pisemad ööliblikad
Chris Grinter, on February 17th, 2011% Shockingly, stunningly, amazingly; monarhid on tagasi (kuid mitte kaasnäitleja Julianne Moore). Korras, see pole nii hämmastav; I pretty much predicted this would be the case last March when everyone was running around terrified because the butterflies hit an all time low (since counting started in 1993).

Chris Grinter, 19. jaanuaril, 2011% Olen seda alati paljudes maailma paikades teadnud, eriti pekstud rajalt väljas, Menüüs on koide ja liblikate röövikud. Aafrikast Austraaliani on kümneid liike, mis võivad maitseda piisavalt hästi, et olla mõistlikult söödavad või isegi maitsvad.
