分類失敗

Recently came across some ridiculously horrible taxonomy from China (.PDF). If you scroll down a bit you can see the english translation. At first glance this looks like a standard taxonomy paper with bare-bones species descriptions. You might even think to yourself, “huh, wonder why they are describing species from only one specimen”. Not the . . . → 続きを読む: 分類失敗

How I keep myself busy

I’ve been busy spreading microleps over the last few days, and here is a small selection from my summer collecting trips. Still have at least another 200 to go before catching up on my backlog. I am working on illustrating just how to spread these moths… ので、ご期待ください.

While I have already been to a handful of places this spring, I have a long season of collecting . . . → 続きを読む: 運転しすぎるかもしれません
