Minn Chris Grinter, fuq Awissu 24, 2011% A month ago or so the California Academy of Sciences launched a full fledged expedition to the Philippines. While the majority of the cash was spent on a clipper ship and dive teams, there was a terrestrial component.

Minn Chris Grinter, fit-22 ta’ Awwissu, 2011% Il-ġimgħa li għaddiet Jim Hayden ħaseb li l-kamla li stajt kienet Oecophoridae Awstraljana. Kienet raden tajjeb għax hemm ħafna kamla kbar u tal-isturdament f'din il-familja mill-Awstralja. Wieħed mill-aqwa għandu jkun dan, Wingia lambertella (Oecophoridae), maqbuda fuq Black Mountain f'Canberra Ottubru 23, 1955 (Kollezzjonijiet CAS). . . . → Aqra Aktar: It-tnejn Moth
Minn Chris Grinter, on August 19th, 2011% This GOP is less of a challenge and more of a simple roundup of miserable stock photography. Alex Wild and others have long ago pointed out the massive failings of many stock photo sites – but here is a brief and painful lep roundup using Google.

Minn Chris Grinter, on August 15th, 2011% ANSWER: This wasn’t easy – but this large and beautiful moth was from Australia and is in the family Xyloryctidae (Philarista sp.). We have a handful of representatives of this group here in the US and Ted MacRae over on Beetles in the Bush has a few great photographs of them. Somehow I think we . . . → Aqra Aktar: It-tnejn Moth
Minn Chris Grinter, on August 14th, 2011% These large and interesting Lycidae beetles (Lycus fernandezi) were abundant in south eastern Arizona a few weeks ago. Constantly flying between flowers and moist sand they were making for easy photography targets. I thought to myself “here is a great opportunity to catch a beetle taking off!”.

Minn Chris Grinter, on August 11th, 2011% Hawnhekk hawn video ieħor mill-isbaħ minn Warren! Qed naħseb li din hija Choreutidae minħabba l-mod kif jinżammu l-ġwienaħ waqt iż-żfin – għalkemm huwa mgħaġġel wisq biex tassew tidher ċara. Minħabba li huwa minn fawna li jien totalment mhux familjari miegħu nista 'faċilment niżbalja – so please correct me . . . → Aqra Aktar: Moth Dancing

Il-kamla ta’ din il-ġimgħa hija filmat ta’ mikro żfin mill-Filippini (meħuda minn Warren Laurde). Kif tista' tissuspetta li din hija wirja ta' tgħammir li tispiċċa fi headstand pjuttost spettakolari.

Il-kamla ta 'dan it-Tnejn hija speċi spettakolari mill-muntanji ta' Arizona – Chiricahua multidentata, a Geometrid.
