Habari zisizo na maana, wakati huu kutoka kwa Nature

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 . . . → Soma Zaidi: Wakati huu, na nondo

Baa pekee mjini

Katika kaunti ya Lassen mashariki, kwenye vilima virefu vya mreteni kwenye mpaka wa California-Nevada, kuna mifugo “mwitu” farasi, kondoo na ng'ombe. Par kwa kozi, mmea pekee wa maua karibu ulikuwa horehound (Marrubium vulgaris). Licha ya flora isiyo ya asili na (nusu)mega-fauna, wadudu walikuwa bado nyumbani.

Western Arizona

Over the next week and a half I’ll be driving up to Washington state for the annual Lepidopterists’ Mkutano wa jamii.

Genius of the Press VIII

Welcome to volume eight of the inconsistently reoccurring series, Fikra ya Press. 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). . . . → Soma Zaidi: Genius of the Press VIII

Nondo na Mimi #12

Karibu kwenye The Nondo and Me #12, na kanivali yangu ya kwanza ya blogu. Licha ya kublogi kwa miezi michache bado sijaangalia nyuma na kutafakari jinsi nilivyovutiwa na lepidoptera hapo awali.. Kukumbuka wakati au mahali ambapo hii ilitokea haiwezekani, na kama . . . → Soma Zaidi: Nondo na Mimi #12
