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).

Sa kabutihang palad, Hindi ako salagubang

Dahil mapasailalim na sana ako nito. Pag-usapan ang tungkol sa kalupitan sa hayop! OK, biro lang, pero ang kwentong ito ay medyo katawa-tawa. Ang artikulo ay nagsasaad na ginamit ng mga siyentipiko ang boses ni Limbaugh dahil ito nga “madaling magagamit”, hindi dahil galit sila sa kanya. Well lumalabas na hindi totoo, pinili nila si Rush . . . → Basahin Higit pang mga: Sa kabutihang palad, Hindi ako salagubang

Ang lahat ng aking mga kaibigan ay mga insekto

Sinulatan ako ni Rivers Cuomo ng isang kanta. Hindi masama, pero ngayon parang gusto ko yung mantis costume para sa Halloween. At siyempre obligado akong ituro na ang earthworms ay hindi insekto…

Ang galing ng press

Came across this article today care of Doug Yanega at UC Riverside, which spurred the search for further information. Sino ang maaaring sabihin sa akin kung ano ang mga iyon “mga bulaklak” actually are? 10 tumuturo sa unang nakahula ng tama… o marahil ilang kahanga-hangang premyo?

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

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.) Pero, they were all printed images of . . . → Basahin Higit pang mga: I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. para…

Stupid butterfly ng linggo

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. . . . → Basahin Higit pang mga: In the field

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.
