A continuation of the aquamoth series, this time with video from Science Friday! Oes, I have to link it because wordpress won’t embed… Diolch Ted, figured it out!

Ychydig o ddelweddau o fy nhaith gwyfyn penwythnos i lawr i Shell Creek, Sir San Luis Obispo. Mae'r gwanwyn cynnar ar hyd yr arfordir canolog yn syfrdanol, ac yr oedd y ffyrdd cefn yn orlawn o wylwyr blodau. Roedd yna ddwsinau o geir yn cael eu meddiannu gan deuluoedd allan ar benwythnos mewn car, roedd llawer wedi pecyn bwyd ac eistedd i wylio'r . . . → Darllen Mwy: Afonydd o Aur Rhannu hyn!Than fold yourself an insect. These pieces of art are the creation of Robert J. Lang. Chances are if you’ve seen some insane origami than they were his creation. Oes, those are actually made from one single piece of uncut paper.

Rhannu hyn!For those who saw the FOX interview with MSU entomologist Dr. Cognato (iawn, for those who didn’t, here it is), you will be interested to hear his side of the story.

Interesting to note the case shape, and each moth is endemic to its own volcano in the Hawaiian archipelago. This is a Bayesian analysis of . . . → Darllen Mwy: Rhan Aquamoth 2 Rhannu hyn!For all those who abstained from voting (I want to assume some readers must have known the identity of our mystery caterpillar, but were too lazy to comment), here is the answer (after the break).

While there are a few aquatic Lepidoptera, all of them have gills that keep them restricted to the water (meddwl chi, we are talking only about the larval stage). If their stream dries up, so does the caterpillar. . . . → Darllen Mwy: Aquamoth! Rhannu hyn!Spring has come to northern California and moths are on the wing. I took a quick trip up to the Sierra foothills over the weekend and hiked up the steep slopes above the American River. Above is pictured Xanthothrix ranunculi f. albipuncta (Noctuidae: Stiriinae).

This article comes from ABC news, sy'n gallu adnabod lindys hwn? It is decidedly NOT a gypsy moth. Fellow entomology blogger Myrmecos had a similar story last week. Rhannu hyn!(credyd llun) The monarchs have started their spring migration north and you might even see one soon (ddim yn gyffrous os ydych chi'n byw yn FL neu HI lle mae trigolion trwy gydol y flwyddyn, neu mewn AD lle mae mannau gaeafu ar wahân).
