Ponedeljek Moth

Ups, to je skoraj torek! Zgoraj je Schinia ligeae (Noctuidae) počiva na gostiteljska rastlina Xylorhiza tortifolia, Mojave Aster. Sem fotografiral to približno tri tedne nazaj izven mesta Big Pine, California. V nebine so debele v dolinah pod zasneženimi Sierra, in molji so obilne. . . . → Preberite več: Ponedeljek Moth

Arahnologi so pristali

v redu, ne žuželka…

 

Naslednje tri tedne so moji kolegi iz arahnološkega laboratorija na Kalifornijski akademiji znanosti na Filipinih.! (št, sploh ni ljubosumen…) Potovanje je del odprave CAS Hearst, ogromna prizadevanja, ki zajemajo vse naše raziskovalne oddelke . . . → Preberite več: Arahnologi so pristali

Nedelja Moth

 

Vsakdo pozna hawkmoth glavo slavni smrti v, ampak mislim, da je sramota, smo populariziral tako mračna značaja. Predvsem je veliko bolj vesela Neotropical Arctiinae iz Francoske Gvajane, ki je videti, kot da športne klovn obraz. Na žalost to ni moja fotografija, vendar . . . → Preberite več: Nedelja Moth

Jutri zjutraj grem za 10 dan zbiranja potovanje navzdol na otoku Catalina. Bil sem srečo, da so povabljeni, da se pridružijo dr. Jerry Powell UC Berkeley na raziskavi moljev, in to bo moj prvič kateremkoli izmed otokov. . . . → Preberite več: Moth je off Catalina

Cal Academy Butterflies

While I gear up for more posts of substance, enjoy this brief video from the California Academy of Sciences butterfly collection. Dr.. Norm Penny does a wonderful job of sharing some of our gems, it’s just too bad the video isn’t any longer (or about moths!).

Nazaj v Polju

Jutri se začne faza 1 za delo na terenu / nori vožnji in času dopusta. Se bom osredotočila na zbiranje na tej stopnji potovanja, hitting jugu Teksasa ravno pravi čas za repu padec letečih metuljev v rodu Schinia. Ampak microleps so moj primarni interes, in prepričan sem, da se bom vrnil s stotinami . . . → Preberite več: Nazaj v Polju

Čas je letel

Wow to je bilo pred nekaj tedni od moje zadnje sporočilo, in sem malo v zadregi, ko je izpustil tako dolgo. Kaj sem počel? Ne cela ne. Ni impresivna zbiranje izleti, nobene nove vrste ali odkritja. Pravzaprav sem sedel na mikroskopom seciranje spolovila ali databasing parazitske muhe. Jaz bom . . . → Preberite več: Čas je letel

A Sierran Spider

A weekend without moths can lead a lepidopterist to do crazy things. Crazy enough to photograph a spider. Over the weekend I was accompanied to the eastern Sierra by fellow insect blogger, coworker and arachnologist, Tamas Szuts. I was on the quest for more specimens of a new Hepialidae of which you may be familiar . . . → Preberite več: A Sierran Spider

A Disturbing New Trend?

Pictured is a black-veined white (Aporia crataegi ssp), and it is currently being returned to the Korean Institute of Biological Resources. Loans get returned, as they should be, every dayand can even number in the thousands of specimens. I myself have a few hundred moths out on loan from a handful of . . . → Preberite več: A Disturbing New Trend?
