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).

شکر ہے, I’m not a beetle

Because I would have been subjected to this. Talk about animal cruelty! ٹھیک ہے, 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 . . . → مزید پڑھیں: شکر ہے, I’m not a beetle

میرے تمام دوست کیڑے مکوڑے ہیں۔

ریورز کوومو نے مجھے ایک گانا لکھا. برا نہیں ہے, لیکن اب مجھے لگتا ہے کہ میں ہالووین کے لیے وہ مینٹس کاسٹیوم چاہتا ہوں۔. اور بلاشبہ میں یہ بتانے کا پابند ہوں کہ کینچوڑے کیڑے نہیں ہیں۔…

I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. کے لیے…

Well even last year I got another insect themed tie.

Stupid buttefly of the week

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.
