Nuacht gan chiall, an uair seo ó Dúlra

Is gné nua é ó dheasc an Nature News a dhéanann machnamh ar dhomhan gan mosquitos (nó -toes). Conas atá an nuacht seo? B'fhéidir go bhfuil roinnt rialú veicteoireach nua ann nach mór dúinn go léir a chloisteáil! Bhuel, seiceáil an t-alt ón eagrán is déanaí de Nature dar teideal “Domhan gan mosquitoes“.

I should start charging

OK, maybe not. But I did get a little jealous when I came across this article where I discovered a local San Francisco artist who is charging $60 a pop forinsect spreading classes”. I wonder how many really show up to the monthly class? This just in, Chris Grinter is offering an insect spreading . . . → Leigh Nios mo: I should start charging

This time, with a moth

Here are a few more images from my recent northern road trip, this time from western Idaho. Right outside the town of New Meadows were fields of flowers thick with life. It was some of the best day collecting I’ve done in years, and fellow road tripper Peter Jump and I discovered this . . . → Leigh Nios mo: This time, with a moth

An barra ach amháin i mbaile

In oirthear an chontae Lassen, ar na cnoic aitil ard mór na teorann California-Nevada, tá tréada de “fiáin” capaill, caorach agus eallach. Par don chúrsa, bhí an gléasra bláthanna ach timpeall horehound (Marrubium vulgare). In ainneoin na flóra neamh-dúchais agus (leath)mega-fauna, bhí na feithidí fós sa bhaile. Bheith ar an fhoinse neachtar amháin, an beag . . . → Leigh Nios mo: An barra ach amháin i mbaile

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

Níos dlúithe, toirt II

Agus anois le haghaidh an tsraith níos infrequently reoccurring, Guth na ndaoine! Dóibh siúd nach cuimhní scarring scoil ard latin aicme (gan aon locht mo mhúinteoir) Feicfidh mé a thabhairt duit suas le luas – an teideal aistríonn garbh go “guth na ndaoine”. Seo ceann eile sean r-phost go bhfuil mé ag shábháil. Go bhfuil sé ar . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Níos dlúithe, toirt II

Genius an Phreasa VIII

Fáilte go dtí toirt ocht gcinn de na sraithe neamhréireach reoccurring, Genius an Phreasa. Tháinig mé trasna airteagal seo le déanaí maidir le féileacán endemic Rican Puerto. Cé atá in ann a insint dom go díreach cén fáth go bhfuil an tuarascáil seo míthreorach? D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith beagán trickier ná an GOP caighdeánach (Mé le fios chaitheamh ar bith hacrainmneacha a bhaineann leis na litreacha roimhe). . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Genius an Phreasa VIII

An Leamhan agus Mise #12

Welcome to The Moth and Me #12, and my first blog carnival. Despite blogging for a few months I have yet to take a look back and reflect on exactly how I became enamored with lepidoptera in the first place. Remembering a time or location where this happened is impossible, agus is maith . . . → Leigh Nios mo: An Leamhan agus Mise #12
