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… ດັ່ງ​ນັ້ນ​ຢູ່ tuned.

So what is wrong with this illustration below? Sounds like a great show at the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati. This news story made me look just a little closer

ສຽງຂອງປະຊາຊົນ, volume I

I’ve come across a few e-mail transcripts of questions sent into our entomology department and I can not resist sharing them. I promise these messages are (and will be) 100% real and unedited. Names have been changed or removed to protect the innocent. Hopefully, I will come across these every once in a while, ແລະ . . . → ອ່ານ: ສຽງຂອງປະຊາຊົນ, volume I

Butterfly ຂອງອາທິດ

I’ve been a bit remiss at posting regular challenges, so I’ll try to pick up the pace. Who can tell me anything about this butterfly? The most you’re getting is that it is from the Western half of the US. Credit for family, genus or species and ridiculous credit for subspecies and where it is . . . → ອ່ານ: Butterfly ຂອງອາທິດ

ມອດລົດຊາດໃນ Napa

It was a beautiful day today in the bay area, so I headed up to Napa and the Pope Valley. I was scouting some new territory for a small flower moth, Heliolonche celeris, that apparently is waiting for more contiguous nice weather to emerge. This season has been a bit tardy because of all of . . . → ອ່ານ: ມອດລົດຊາດໃນ Napa

Another installment of Genius of the Press, and perhaps a bit of a softball. (Yikes these are easy to find) Who can tell me whats wrong with this article?

I may drive too much

The clouds broke this afternoon in San Francisco and the sun began to shine.
