Pazartesi Güve

Whoops, it’s almost Tuesday! Above is Schinia ligeae (Noctuidae) resting on its host plant Xylorhiza tortifolia, the Mojave Aster. I photographed this about three weeks ago outside the town of Big Pine, Kaliforniya. The asters were thick in the valleys below the snow capped Sierra, and the moths were abundant. . . . → Devamı: Pazartesi Güve

The Arachnologists have landed

Tamam, not an insect

 

For the next three weeks my colleagues from the Arachnology lab at the California Academy of Sciences are in the Philippines! (HAYIR, not jealous at all…) The trip is part of the CAS Hearst expedition, a massive effort spanning all of our research departments to survey . . . → Devamı: The Arachnologists have landed

Pazar Güvesi

 

Everyone is familiar with the famous death’s head hawkmoth, but I think it’s a shame we have popularized such a grim character. Above is a much more cheery Neotropical Arctiinae from French Guiana that looks like it’s sporting a clown face. Sadly this isn’t my photograph, ama . . . → Devamı: Pazar Güvesi

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

Back in the Field

Tomorrow begins stage 1 of field work/crazy driving and vacation time. I will be focused on collecting for this stage of the trip, hitting southern Texas just in time for the tail end of fall flying moths in the genus Schinia. But microleps are my primary interest, and I’m sure I’ll come back with hundreds . . . → Devamı: Back in the Field

Time has flown

Wow it’s been a few weeks since my last post, and I’m a bit embarrassed having let it go so long. 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 . . . → Devamı: Time has flown

A Spider Sierran

Güveler olmayan bir hafta sonu çılgınca şeyler yapmak için bir lepidopterist yol açabilir. Bir örümcek fotoğraflamak için yeterli deli. Hafta sonu ben adam böcek blogger tarafından doğu Sierra eşlik etti, arkadaşı ve arachnologist, Tamas Szuts. Ben size tanıdık olabilen yeni bir Hepialidae daha numuneler için arayış oldu . . . → Devamı: A Spider Sierran

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 . . . → Devamı: A Disturbing New Trend?
