Genius of the Press X

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

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.

Western 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. Dobrze, 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 . . . → Czytaj więcej: Western 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.

It’s good to throw a changeup every one in a while, and this week here is an article that is actually GOOD. Tak, you read it here first, a positive article about entomology collections.

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 . . . → Czytaj więcej: 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 . . . → Czytaj więcej: I may drive too much

I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. dla…

This is something I’ve never seen before. Growing up I have always had someone give me some kitsch object with insects on them, even playing cards. Well even last year I got another insect themed tie. (I don’t have the whimsey of PZ Myers and his awesome tie.) Ale, they were all printed images of . . . → Czytaj więcej: I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. dla…
