Rytoj prasideda etapą 1 lauko darbų / Crazy vairavimo ir poilsio laikas. Aš bus skiriama rinkti šiam reisui etape, hitting southern Texas just in time for the tail end of fall flying moths in the genus Schinia. Bet microleps yra mano pagrindinis interesas, and I’m sure I’ll come back with hundreds of stunning specimens. I’ll be taking as many photos as I can, and I hope to post an update as I hit Chicago just in time for Halloween. Of course if I do see something too incredible, I’ll have to try and post from my cell right away. As for stage II, it will be a visit with my family and friends back in Chicago, and stage III will be a quick drive back to San Francisco across I-80 with fingers crossed to avoid the snow. If anyone is en-route and wants to join me in the field, send me an e-mail! Stay tuned and wish me luck. Dalytis šiuo!

We get this gem.

Aš atėjau visoje tai įdomus prietaisas ir turėjo tiesioginę žarnyno reakciją.. “Žinoma kvailas vandens lemputė neturi atstumti musių, tai sukčiai!”… Giliai įkvėpkite… Gerai, kad yra baisi skepticizmas. Tiesą sakant,, tai ciniškas ir tai, ką skeptikai nekenčiu vadinamas. Tai taip pat yra kažkas, kas atsitinka per daug lengvai – Aš esu gana įsitikinęs, kad vaiduokliai neegzistuoja, nebuvo įtikinamų įrodymų,, kada nors. Bet kiekvieną kartą girdžiu apie klaidžioja istoriją jis yra pernelyg viliojanti tiesiog galvoti apie keletą patikimomis paaiškinimus ir nutraukti bylą be įsižiūrėjus. Ir kai mes tai darome mes suteikiame pašarai į lengvatikiai tyrėjas, kuris bus mesti jį atgal į mūsų veidus greičiau nei dvasios arbab Skompresowanie visoje patalpoje. Atrasti tikrą vaiduoklį pirmą kartą yra gana beveik neįmanoma; dar atsakymas yra ne visada akivaizdžiausias hipotezė, ir jūs galite suklupti ant zebras kiekvieną kartą, o. Esmė ta, kad tyrimas yra vienintelis realus būdas skeptiškai.

Tiesą sakant,, I’ve seen a handful of these pop up around San Francisco and it makes me want to tear my hair out every time. For those who are new to my blog, this goes back to my Genius of the Press X. I’m also not the only one to have noticed this mexican butterfly billboard taxonomy fail.

What have I been up to? Not a whole not. No impressive collecting trips, no new species or discoveries. Actually I’ve been sitting at a microscope dissecting genitalia or databasing parasitic flies. I’ll have to do a followup post to delve into those a bit more… But for now, here is a picture form last August. I was standing on an open stretch of Chihuahuan desert right outside of Douglas Arizona; a whopping one mile from the Mexican border. I arrived that evening with my collecting colleague, microlepidopterist Peter Jump, and we had just set up camp as the roll of thunder grew close. Aside from the extinct cinder-cones surrounding us and an occasional illegal immigrant, we were the only (and highest) thing around for miles. But the lightening was too hard to resist, I need a picture! But I didn’t have a cable release, nor a tripod, or even a good camera. So what to do… I chose the genius option of standing outside for 40 minutes with my Canon point-and-shoot. I missed 99% of every shot I took, while with every passing minute the lightening grew closer. Pagaliau, I stumbled upon this decent image. The storm ended up being brief, we huddle in the car (that you can just make out in the picture) while the lightening approached and it drizzled on us for an hour then moved on. Collecting that night was impressive. There were so many moths in the trap that everything had gotten beaten to bits. I managed to rescue a handful of good specimens, but lesson learned for next time.

Crazy pakankamai fotografuoti voras. Per savaitgalį buvau kartu su Rytų Sierra kolegos vabzdžių Bloggers, bendradarbis ir arachnologist, Tamas Szuts. I was on the quest for more specimens of a new Hepialidae of which you may be familiar with from an earlier post. I heard reports from others that at elevations of 11,000’ there was still a significant snowpack even by the end of July. I figured the moth may be flying late this year, if at all. I was hoping to catch the end of summer and the moth both in perfect synchronization. Such was not my luck. I awoke on Saturday morning, sat upright, and brushed the frost off of my sleeping bag while desperately willing myself to brave the morning chill. Temps must have been pushing 25 degrees, a sign that autumn had return to the mountains. Two traps, a black light sheet and running around at dusk yielded zero Hepialidae and only ten moths in total (four species). And so I was encouraged by Tamas to actually photograph a non-lep, something that I should do more often. He had joined me eager to not only see the Sierra for the first time, but to find the beautiful Salticidae – Habronattus americanus. This little jumper can be found in the western states in rocky areas above 7,000′. After an hour or two of searching, Tamas finally captured a stunning pair. I must agree that this is a beautiful little spider. Visit his blog (in Hungarian) to see some of his stunning images as well.
