Fresh off biro a Nature News se yon karakteristik k ap reflechi sou yon mond san moustik (oswa -zòtèy). Kòman nouvèl sa ye? Petèt gen kèk nouvo kontwòl vektè nou tout bezwen tande sou! Oke, tcheke atik ki soti nan dènye edisyon Nature ki gen tit “Yon mond san moustik“. I originally came . . . → Li piplis: Nouvèl san sans, fwa sa a soti nan Lanati

Mwen ta dwe kòmanse chaje

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 . . . → Li piplis: Mwen ta dwe kòmanse chaje

Genius of the Press IX

Just about time for another volume of Genius of the Press. Who will be first to spot the error here? Akòde, the information section of the california flat rate moving website is not exactly a source of top notch journalism

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 . . . → Li piplis: This time, with a moth

The only bar in town

In eastern Lassen county, on the vast high juniper hills of the California-Nevada border, there are herds ofwildhorses, sheep and cattle. Par for the course, the only flowering plant around was horehound (Marrubium vulgare). Despite the non-native flora and (semi)mega-fauna, the insects were still at home. Being the only nectar source, the small . . . → Li piplis: The only bar in town

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. Oke, it was a success and well worth the miles to get there!

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 . . . → Li piplis: On the road again

Pi pre, volim II

And now for the even more infrequently reoccurring series, vox populi! For those without scarring high school memories of latin class (through no fault of my teacher) I’ll bring you up to speedthe title roughly translates tovoice of the people”. Here is another old e-mail that I’ve been saving. It is a . . . → Li piplis: Pi pre, volim II

Genius of the Press VIII

Welcome to volume eight of the inconsistently reoccurring series, Jeni nan laprès la. I came across this article recently regarding an endemic Puerto Rican butterfly. Who can tell me exactly why this report is misleading? It may be a little trickier than the standard GOP (I suggest discarding any previously associated acronyms with those letters). . . . → Li piplis: Genius of the Press VIII

The Moth and Me #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, and like . . . → Li piplis: The Moth and Me #12
