Jamii tahadhari

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 . . . → Soma Zaidi: Jamii tahadhari

New Technique Page!

I’ve just illustrated my method for spreading microlepidoptera, go explore the techniques page. Who is courageous enough to attempt it?

Jinsi mimi kuweka mwenyewe busy

Nimekuwa busy kueneza microleps juu ya siku chache zilizopita, na hapa ni uteuzi ndogo kutoka safari yangu majira ya joto kukusanya. Bado kuwa na angalau mwingine 200 kabla ya kwenda kuambukizwa hadi juu ya backlog yangu. Mimi ni kazi ya kufafanua tu jinsi ya kuenea nondo haya… hivyo kukaa tuned.

2009 ilikuwa wakati wa kubwa. I . . . → Soma Zaidi: Jinsi mimi kuweka mwenyewe busy

Fikra ya Press V

Kwa hivyo ni nini kibaya na mfano huu hapa chini? Sounds like a great show at the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati. This news story made me look just a little closer

Karibu, kiasi mimi

Nimekuja hela chache nakala e-mail ya maswali kutumwa katika entomolojia idara yetu na siwezi kupinga kushirikiana nao. Mimi ahadi ujumbe huu ni (na itakuwa) 100% halisi na unedited. Majina yamebadilishwa au kuondolewa kulinda wasio na hatia. Kwa matumaini, Mimi kuja hela hizi kila mara moja kwa wakati, na . . . → Soma Zaidi: Karibu, kiasi mimi

Butterfly ya wiki

Nimekuwa mzembe kidogo katika kutuma changamoto za mara kwa mara, kwa hivyo nitajaribu kuchukua mwendo. Nani anaweza kuniambia chochote kuhusu kipepeo huyu? Unayopata zaidi ni kwamba inatoka nusu ya Magharibi ya Amerika. Mikopo kwa familia, genus or species and ridiculous credit for subspecies and where it is . . . → Soma Zaidi: Butterfly ya wiki

Pata Maisha, Ugunduzi

Niliketi mbele ya TV yangu siku ya Jumapili nikitazama awamu ya hivi punde ya mfululizo wa BBC/Discovery “Maisha”. Jambo la kwanza linalonijia akilini… “KWA NINI Oprah alichaguliwa kusimulia!?” Kwa kawaida, Nilingoja wadudu hao maalum kupeperushwa kabla sijablogu kuhusu hili, but having to listen to Oprah for the . . . → Soma Zaidi: Pata Maisha, Ugunduzi

Nondo akionja huko Napa

Ilikuwa siku nzuri leo katika eneo la bay, kwa hiyo nilielekea Napa na Bonde la Papa. Nilikuwa nikichunguza eneo jipya kwa nondo ndogo ya maua, Speedy Heliolonche, ambayo inaonekana inangojea hali ya hewa nzuri zaidi kujitokeza. This season has been a bit tardy because of all of . . . → Soma Zaidi: Nondo akionja huko Napa

Fikra ya Press, v. IV

Awamu nyingine ya Genius of Press, na labda kidogo ya softball. (Ndiyo, hizi ni rahisi kupata) Who can tell me whats wrong with this article?

Ninaweza kuendesha gari kupita kiasi

Mawingu yalitanda mchana wa leo huko San Francisco na jua likaanza kuwaka. Hali ya hewa ya joto inayokuja ilisababisha hisia inayojulikana sana, moja kwamba ninapaswa kuwa nje kukusanya wadudu na si kukaa ndani ya nyumba! Wakati tayari nimetembelea sehemu chache za msimu huu wa kuchipua, I have a long season of collecting . . . → Soma Zaidi: Ninaweza kuendesha gari kupita kiasi
