Veste fără rost, de data aceasta din Natură

Proaspăt de pe biroul Nature News este o caracteristică care se gândește la o lume fără țânțari (sau -degetele de la picioare). Cum e vestea asta? Poate că există un nou control vectorial despre care trebuie să auzim cu toții! Bine, consultați articolul din cea mai recentă ediție a revistei Nature intitulat “O lume fără țânțari“.

Eu ar trebui să înceapă de încărcare

Bine, Poate nu. Dar am primit un pic gelos când am dat peste acest articol unde am descoperit un local de San Francisco, artist care se încarcă $60 un pop pentru “insectă de raspandire clase”. Mă întreb câți arată într-adevăr până la clasa lunar? Acest lucru doar în, Chris Grinter ofera o insectă răspândire . . . → Citeste mai mult: Eu ar trebui să înceapă de încărcare

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? acordat, 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: 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. Bine, 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: Western Arizona

On the road again

Over the next week and a half I’ll be driving up to Washington state for the annual Lepidopterists’ Întâlnirea societății. 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: On the road again

Vox Populi, volume 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: Vox Populi, volume II

Genius of the Press VIII

Welcome to volume eight of the inconsistently reoccurring series, Genius a presei. 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). . . . → Citeste mai mult: 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: The Moth and Me #12
