Przez Chris Grinter, on April 27th, 2010% 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 . . . → Czytaj więcej: Taksonomia fail

Przez Chris Grinter, on April 21st, 2010% I’ve been busy spreading microleps over the last few days, and here is a small selection from my summer collecting trips.

Przez Chris Grinter, on April 18th, 2010% 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…
Przez Chris Grinter, w dniu 16 kwietnia, 2010% Natknąłem się na kilka e-mailowych transkrypcji pytań przesłanych do naszego działu entomologii i nie mogę się oprzeć ich udostępnieniu. Obiecuję, że te wiadomości są (i będzie) 100% prawdziwe i nieedytowane. Imiona zostały zmienione lub usunięte, aby chronić niewinnych.

Przez Chris Grinter, on April 14th, 2010% 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.

Przez Chris Grinter, on April 13th, 2010% I sat rapt in front of my TV on Sunday watching the latest installment of the BBC/Discovery series “Life”. The first thing that comes to my mind… “WHY was Oprah chosen to narrate!?” Naturalnie, I waited for the insects special to air before I blogged about this, but having to listen to Oprah for the . . . → Czytaj więcej: Get a Life, Discovery
Przez Chris Grinter, on April 7th, 2010% 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 . . . → Czytaj więcej: Moth tasting in Napa
Przez Chris Grinter, 6 kwietnia, 2010% 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?
Przez Chris Grinter, on April 5th, 2010% The clouds broke this afternoon in San Francisco and the sun began to shine. The upcoming warm weather induced an all too familiar feeling, one that I should be out collecting insects and not sitting indoors! While I have already been to a handful of places this spring, I have a long season of collecting . . . → Czytaj więcej: I may drive too much
