Sinekler olabilir (gerçekten) serin

Cam klettii: Nisan Nobile fotoğrafları, DURUM

Çoğunlukla sinekler bir böcek değil ben hakkında aşırı heyecanlı olsun. Ancak, esrarengiz aile Acroceridae istisna. Ben zaman zaman bazı ilginç cins paylaşımı başlayacağız – Ailenin morfolojisi inanılmaz çeşitlidir. Most of my days . . . → Devamı: Sinekler olabilir (gerçekten) serin

Genius of the Press XVII

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 carefullybut this week I even came . . . → Devamı: Genius of the Press XVII

Tomorrow morning I’m off for a 10 day collecting trip down to Catalina Island. I’ve been lucky enough to be invited to join Dr. Jerry Powell of UC Berkeley on a moth survey, and this will be my first time to any of the islands. . . . → Devamı: The Moth is off to 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 aspider infestationby the car company, ve . . . → Devamı: Doğa ısırır

güvelerin en küçüğü

Nepticulidae ailesi bilinen en küçük güvelerden bazılarını barındırır., 3-8 mm kanat ucundan kanat ucuna kadar değişen. Karşılaştırma için yukarıda iki güve görüntüledim: bilinen en büyük – Coscinocera hercules that tips the scales at nearly 9 inç, ve en küçüklerinden biri (yes that tiny little speck . . . → Devamı: güvelerin en küçüğü

The Monarchs Are All Right

Shockingly, stunningly, amazingly; the monarchs are back (but not co-staring Julianne Moore). Tamam, it’s not that amazing; 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).

If you happen to be living out in Yolo, Solano or Sacramento counties you should head out with a net. Dr. Art Shaprio has offered for the 40th year his cabbage white butterfly competition. If you are the very first person to catch a cabbage white (Pieris dışarı . . . → Devamı: Bira için Kelebekler

Entomophagy: Akşam yemeği için güveleri

I have always known that in many places of the world, especially off the beaten track, caterpillars of moths and butterflies are on the menu. From Africa to Australia there are dozens of species that might taste good enough to be reasonably edible or even delicious. But here in the US insects rarely if . . . → Devamı: Entomophagy: Akşam yemeği için güveleri
