Inaweza kuwa siku mwishoni mwa, lakini bado thamani ya kujaribu. Boo!

Kesho huanza hatua 1 ya kazi shamba / mambo ya kuendesha gari na likizo wakati. Nami kuwa na umakini katika kukusanya kwa ajili ya hatua hii ya safari, hitting southern Texas just in time for the tail end of fall flying moths in the genus Schinia. Lakini microleps ni maslahi yangu ya msingi, 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. Kushiriki hii!

We get this gem.

Mimi alimkuta kifaa hii ya kuvutia na alikuwa na papo gut majibu.. “Bila shaka kijinga maji bulb haina kurudisha inzi, hii ni kashfa!”… pumzi… OK kwamba ni wasiwasi wa kutisha. Kweli, ni wa kijinga na ni yale tu wasiwasi chuki kuitwa. Ni pia jambo ambalo hufanyika kwa urahisi pia – Mimi nina pretty wanaamini kwamba vizuka hazipo, kumekuwa hakuna ushahidi wa kulazimisha, milele. Lakini kila wakati mimi kusikia hadithi ya haunting ni mbali pia kumjaribu kufikiri tu ya chache plausible maelezo na kufuta kesi hiyo bila kuangalia kwa karibu. Na wakati sisi kufanya hivyo sisi kutoa lishe kwa uchunguzi wa wajinga ambao kutupa nyuma katika nyuso zetu kwa kasi zaidi kuliko roho orb zipping katika chumba. Kugundua ghost halisi kwa mara ya kwanza kabisa ni pretty karibu haiwezekani; lakini jibu ni daima si hypothesis wazi zaidi na unaweza mashaka juu ya pundamilia kila mara moja kwa wakati. uhakika ni kwamba uchunguzi ni njia ya kweli tu kubaki wasiwasi.

Nini mimi imekuwa juu kwa? Si wote si. Hakuna safari ya kuvutia kukusanya, hakuna aina mpya au uvumbuzi. Kwa kweli mimi tumekuwa ameketi darubini dissecting genitalia au databasing inzi vimelea. Itabidi nifanye chapisho la kufuata ili kuangazia hizo zaidi… Lakini kwa sasa, hapa kuna fomu ya picha Agosti iliyopita. Nilikuwa nimesimama kwenye sehemu ya wazi ya jangwa la Chihuahuan nje ya Douglas Arizona; umbali wa maili moja kutoka mpaka wa Mexico. Nilifika jioni hiyo na mkusanyaji mwenzangu, microlepidopterist Peter Rukia, na tulikuwa tumepiga kambi wakati ngurumo zilipokuwa zikikaribia. Kando na koni zilizotoweka zinazotuzunguka na mhamiaji haramu wa mara kwa mara, tulikuwa pekee (na ya juu zaidi) kitu karibu kwa maili. Lakini umeme ulikuwa mgumu sana kupinga, Nahitaji picha! Lakini sikuwa na kutolewa kwa cable, wala tripod, au hata kamera nzuri. Basi nini cha kufanya… Nilichagua chaguo la fikra la kusimama nje 40 dakika na Canon yangu kumweka-na-risasi. nilikosa 99% kwa kila risasi niliyopiga, huku kila dakika zilivyokuwa zikienda umeme ulikua unakaribia. hatimaye, Nilijikwaa kwenye picha hii nzuri. Dhoruba iliishia kuwa fupi, tunajibanza kwenye gari (kwamba unaweza tu kufanya nje katika picha) huku umeme ukiwa umekaribia na kutunyeshea kwa saa moja kisha kusonga mbele. Kukusanya usiku huo ilikuwa ya kuvutia. Kulikuwa na nondo nyingi kwenye mtego kiasi kwamba kila kitu kilikuwa kimepigwa. Nilifanikiwa kuokoa wachache wa vielelezo vyema, lakini somo limejifunza kwa wakati ujao.

Mwishoni mwa wiki mimi alikuwa akifuatana kwa Sierra mashariki na blogger wadudu wenzake, mfanyakazi na 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, ikiwa kabisa. 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.
