Butterfly o'r wythnos

Nid y glöyn byw nodweddiadol – ond dyma'r strwythur plygu protein o dwymyn hemorrhagic De America – y firws Symptomau. The article was found on Science Daily. Tebygrwydd trawiadol i bili-pala, efallai hyd yn oed Hesperidae (photo from Butterflies of America).

Diolch byth, Nid wyf yn chwilen

Oherwydd byddwn wedi bod yn destun hyn. Sôn am greulondeb anifeiliaid! iawn, dim ond kidding, ond mae'r stori hon ychydig yn chwerthinllyd. Mae'r erthygl yn nodi bod y gwyddonwyr wedi defnyddio llais Limbaugh oherwydd ei fod “ar gael yn rhwydd”, nid am eu bod yn ei gasáu. Wel mae hynny'n troi allan i beidio â bod yn wir, dewison nhw Rush . . . → Darllen Mwy: Diolch byth, Nid wyf yn chwilen

I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. canys…

This is something I’ve never seen before. Growing up I have always had someone give me some kitsch object with insects on them, even playing cards. Well even last year I got another insect themed tie. (I don’t have the whimsey of PZ Myers and his awesome tie.)

Stupid buttefly of the week

Know this butterfly? It’s OK, no one really does. It is in the genus Apodemia (Riodinidae), but the taxonomy of this group is a disasterand don’t even get me started on the subspecies. This specimen was photographed in September, meaning it is most likely to be Apodemia mormo (mormo) based . . . → Darllen Mwy: Stupid buttefly of the week

Yn y cae

One of the perks of being an entomologist is traveling and collecting. I put a few thousand miles on the car every summer and these are two of the best places in Arizona to collect.

Iawn pobl pili-pala, Pwy ydw i?

This is an old image of mine, so it’s not perfect. If you can tell me this butterfly to species you get a high-five. If you know the subspecies, I’ll send you a new pack of #3 stainless steel pins! Only hint: It’s from the western USA.
