Pressens geni X

This one is just too easy. The billboard is on I-35 south of Burleson, Texas.

I don’t know the true provenance of this image, but it came my way from Omar Bocanegra via Mike Quinn on the Texas Lepidoptera list-serv.

Vestlige Arizona

A few months ago I was out collecting in western Arizona and failed to follow through with any images or updates on that trip. Godt, it was a success and well worth the miles to get there! I was searching for a Crambid moth in the mountains of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge (special thanks . . . → Læs mere: Vestlige Arizona

På vejen igen

Over the next week and a half I’ll be driving up to Washington state for the annual LepidopteristsSociety meeting. It is located in the tourist-trap town of Leavenworth, which is aBavarian themeddiorama of postcard and clog shops. While I can never quite understand the appeal of themed towns, it is something . . . → Læs mere: På vejen igen

Genius Press, v. VI

It’s good to throw a changeup every one in a while, and this week here is an article that is actually GOOD. Ja, you read it here first, a positive article about entomology collections. We all need a breather after that Fox news fiasco with the Michigan State collection. The Honolulu Magazine does a really . . . → Læs mere: Genius Press, v. VI

Ny Teknik Side!

Jeg har netop illustreret min metode til spredning microlepidoptera, gå udforske teknikker siden. Hvem er modig nok til at forsøge det?

Hvordan jeg holder mig travlt

Jeg har haft travlt sprede microleps i løbet af de sidste par dage, og her er et lille udvalg fra min sommer indsamling ture. Stadig har mindst en anden 200 at gå, før at fange op på min efterslæb. Jeg arbejder på at illustrere, hvor at sprede disse møl… så stay tuned.

2009 var en stor sæson. Jeg . . . → Læs mere: Hvordan jeg holder mig travlt

Moth tasting in Napa

It was a beautiful day today in the bay area, so I headed up to Napa and the Pope Valley. I was scouting some new territory for a small flower moth, Heliolonche celeris, that apparently is waiting for more contiguous nice weather to emerge. This season has been a bit tardy because of all of . . . → Læs mere: Moth tasting in Napa

I may drive too much

The clouds broke this afternoon in San Francisco and the sun began to shine. The upcoming warm weather induced an all too familiar feeling, one that I should be out collecting insects and not sitting indoors! While I have already been to a handful of places this spring, I have a long season of collecting . . . → Læs mere: I may drive too much

Aquamoth del 3

A continuation of the aquamoth series, this time with video from Science Friday! Ja, I have to link it because wordpress won’t embed… Tak Ted, figured it out!

Jeg vil give dig min Ken Griffey Jr. til…

Dette er noget, jeg aldrig har set før. Da jeg voksede op, har jeg altid haft nogen, der har givet mig et kitschobjekt med insekter på, endda spille kort. Selv sidste år fik jeg endnu et insekt-tema-slips. (I don’t have the whimsey of PZ Myers and his awesome tie.) Men, they were all printed images of . . . → Læs mere: Jeg vil give dig min Ken Griffey Jr. til…
