분류학 실패

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”.

나는 바쁜 자신을 유지하는 방법

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… 그래서 계속 지켜봐.
