Genius an Phreasa 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.

Iarthair 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. Bhuel, 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 . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Iarthair Arizona

On the road again

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 . . . → Leigh Nios mo: On the road again

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 . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Moth tasting in Napa

Is féidir liom tiomáint i bhfad ró

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 . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Is féidir liom tiomáint i bhfad ró

Feicfidh mé a thabhairt duit mo Ken Griffey Jr. do…

Is é an rud atá feicthe riamh agam roimhe. Ag fás suas bhí i gcónaí mé duine éigin a thabhairt dom roinnt réad kitsch le feithidí orthu, fiú ag imirt cártaí. Bhuel fiú an bhliain seo caite fuair mé comhionannas vótaí eile téamaí feithidí. (I don’t have the whimsey of PZ Myers and his awesome tie.)
