A continuation of the aquamoth series, this time with video from Science Friday! Sim, I have to link it because wordpress won’t embed… Graças Ted, figured it out! A few images from my weekend mothing trip down to Shell Creek, San Luis Obispo County. Early spring along the central coast is stunning, and the back roads were packed with flower watchers. There were dozens of cars occupied by families out for a weekend drive, many had packed lunches and sat to watch the . . . → Leia mais: Rivers of Gold Do que dobrar-se um inseto.

Eu tomei uma rápida viagem até o sopé da Serra no fim de semana e de subir as encostas íngremes acima do rio americano. Acima é retratado Xanthothrix ranúnculos f. albipuncta (Noctuidae: Stiriinae).
