Nädala liblikas

Not the typical butterflybut this is the protein folding structure from a South American hemorrhagic feverthe Machupo virus. The article was found on Science Daily. A striking resemblance to a butterfly, maybe even a Hesperiidae (photo from Butterflies of America).

Õnneks, I’m not a beetle

Because I would have been subjected to this. Talk about animal cruelty! Korras, just kidding, but this story is a bit ridiculous. The article states that the scientists had used the voice of Limbaugh because it wasreadily available”, not because they hated him. Well that turns out not to be true, they chose Rush . . . → Loe edasi: Õnneks, I’m not a beetle

Kõik mu sõbrad on putukad

Rivers Cuomo wrote me a song. Not bad, but now I think I want that mantis costume for Halloween. And of course I am obliged to point out that earthworms are not insects

Ajakirjanduse geenius

Came across this article today care of Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, which spurred the search for further information. Kes oskab öelda, mis need “lilled” actually are? 10 osutab esimesele õigesti arvajale… või äkki mõni vinge auhind?

Stupid buttefly nädala

Tea seda liblikas? See on OK, keegi tõesti ei. See on perekonna Apodemia (Riodinidae), kuid taksonoomia Selles grupis on katastroof… ja ei hakkagi on alamliigi. See isend pildistatud septembris, mis tähendab, see on kõige tõenäolisem, et olla Apodemia mormo (Mormo) põhineb . . . → Loe edasi: Stupid buttefly nädala

Valdkonnas

Üks perks olemise entomoloog reisib ja nõutakse. Panin paar tuhat miili auto igal suvel ja need on kaks parimaid kohti Arizona koguda. Ülemine pilt on pärit Baboquivari Mountains (Baboquivari Peak keskel), Brown Canyon Research Station. . . . → Loe edasi: Valdkonnas

OK liblikas inimesed, kes ma olen?

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.
