Butterfly of the week

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).

Thankfully, I’m not a beetle

Because I would have been subjected to this. Talk about animal cruelty! બરાબર, 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 . . . → વધુ વાંચો: Thankfully, I’m not a beetle

All my friends are insects

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

The genius of the press

Came across this article today care of Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, which spurred the search for further information. Who can tell me what thoseflowersactually are? 10 points to the first to guess correctlyor maybe some awesome prize?

હું તમને મારા કેન ગ્રિફે જુનિયર આપીશું. માટે…

આ હું પહેલાં ક્યારેય ન જોઈ કર્યું છે કંઈક છે. વધતી જતી હું હંમેશા આવી હોય કોઇ મને તેમના પર જંતુઓ સાથે કેટલાક kitsch પદાર્થ આપી, પણ કાર્ડ રમતા. સાથે સાથે તે પણ ગયા વર્ષે હું અન્ય જંતુ આધારિત ટાઈ મળી. (હું PZ મ્યેર્સ અને તેના ભયાનક ટાઇ ના whimsey નથી.) પરંતુ, તેઓ તમામ મુદ્રિત છબીઓ હતા . . . → વધુ વાંચો: હું તમને મારા કેન ગ્રિફે જુનિયર આપીશું. માટે…

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 . . . → વધુ વાંચો: Stupid buttefly of the week

ક્ષેત્રમાં

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. The top image is from the Baboquivari Mountains (Baboquivari Peak in the middle), Brown Canyon Research Station. . . . → વધુ વાંચો: ક્ષેત્રમાં

OK butterfly people, who am 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.
