Pa Chris Grinter, sou Oktòb 21, 2013% Bèt sa a bèl se yon manman Mwen bati soti nan kèrkus palmeri desann nan mòn yo Chiricahua nan Arizona. Li nan nan Gracillariidae nan fanmi ak gen plis chans nan Acrocercops yo genus – dapre Dave Wagner li ka reprezante yon nouvo espès, men sa a pa yon bagay estraòdinè ak papiyon ti.

Semèn sa a mwen pataje yon ti, debraye, ak semi-konplètman gaye Nepticulidae nan genus Stigmella a soti nan menm pèlen an limyè nan Prescott Arizona kòm sot pase yo kèk Lendi Papiyon a.

Pa Chris Grinter, sou 4yèm fevriye, 2013% Kouman sou yon lòt Gelechiidae idantifye nan kote a menm jan ak echantiyon an anvan (No. Prescott Arizona). Mwen ap pran yon koud nan vè sa a yo te nan Chionodes yo genus – epi li se surfaces menm jan ak espès nan C. kontinye.

This moth is a good example of what a lot of my moths are at the moment – unidentified! This is certainly a Gelechiidae, you can see the large upturned palps on the front of the head, and a finger-shaped projection on the tips of the hindwings.

Pa Chris Grinter, on November 19th, 2011% For all intents and purposes this looks like a blue butterfly (as in subfamily Polyommatinae)… it’s very, very blue after all.

There are subtle difference in wing shape and probably venation, men . . . → Li piplis: Yon Papiyon Copper nan Degize
Pa Chris Grinter, on November 3rd, 2011% That’s how the saying goes, dwat?

This Monday’s moth is a duo of Schinia villosa (Slide) 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 . . . → Li piplis: Lendi vè
Pa Chris Grinter, le 14 out, 2011% Sa yo gwo ak enteresan Lycidae insect (Lycus fernandezi) yo te abondan nan sid lès Arizona kèk semèn de sa. Toujou ap vole ant flè ak sab imid yo te fè pou objektif fotografi fasil. Mwen te panse nan tèt mwen “isit la se yon gwo opòtinite yo trape yon skarabe k ap dekole!”.

Pa Chris Grinter, sou Jiye 11yèm, 2011% Vè jodi a se yon espès bèl ak ra soti nan SE Arizona ak Meksik: Lerina incarnata (Erebidae: Arctiinae).
