Aquamoth தொடரின் தொடர்ச்சி, அறிவியல் வெள்ளி, வீடியோ இந்த நேரம்! ஆமாம், வேர்ட்பிரஸ் உட்பொதிக்க முடியாது, ஏனெனில் நான் அதை இணைக்க வேண்டும்… நன்றி டெட், அதை வெளியே வந்தார்! 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 . . . → மேலும் படிக்க: தங்கம் ஆறுகள் Than fold yourself an insect. These pieces of art are the creation of Robert J. Lang.

This article comes from ABC news, who can identify this caterpillar? It is decidedly NOT a gypsy moth. Fellow entomology blogger Myrmecos had a similar story last week. |
