A continuation of the aquamoth series, this time with video from Science Friday! Ja, I have to link it because wordpress won’t embed… Tak Ted, figured it out!
A continuation of the aquamoth series, this time with video from Science Friday! Ja, I have to link it because wordpress won’t embed… Tak Ted, figured it out! Et par billeder fra min weekendtur ned til Shell Creek, San Luis Obispo County. Det tidlige forår langs den centrale kyst er fantastisk, og bagvejene var fyldt med blomsterkiggere. Der var snesevis af biler optaget af familier ude på en weekendtur, many had packed lunches and sat to watch the . . . → Læs mere: Floder af guld End folde dig selv et insekt. Disse kunstværker er oprettelsen af Robert J. Tak. Chancerne er, hvis du har set nogle vanvittige origami end de var hans skabelse. Ja, de er faktisk lavet af et enkelt stykke af uklippet papir. Han giver den krølle mønster for de fleste af sine designs, men faktisk folde . . . → Læs mere: For meget fri-tid? For dem, der så FOX-interviewet med MSU-entomolog Dr. Svoger (Okay, for dem der ikke gjorde, her er det), du vil være interesseret i at høre hans side af historien.

While there are a few aquatic Lepidoptera, all of them have gills that keep them restricted to the water (mind you, we are talking only about the larval stage). If their stream dries up, so does the caterpillar. . . . → Læs mere: Aquamoth! 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 (Ugler: Stiriinae). It happens to be sitting on a beautiful california . . . → Læs mere: Californiens forår Endnu en del af min yndlingsserie, pressens geni. This article comes from ABC news, hvem kan identificere denne larve? It is decidedly NOT a gypsy moth. Fellow entomology blogger Myrmecos had a similar story last week. |
