Blue Oak Ranch Riserva

Ftit ġimgħat ilu ġejt mistieden biex ningħaqad ma’ klassi ta’ entomoloġija ta’ Berkeley barra fil-qasam fi tmiem il-ġimgħa. Id-destinazzjoni tagħna kienet il-Blue Oak Ranch Reserve; waħda mir-riżervi l-aktar ġodda għas-sistema tal-Università ta’ Kalifornja li tinsab eżatt barra minn San Jose fuq Mount Hamilton (mappa hawn taħt).

Lasia klettii: Photos by April Nobile, CAS

For the most part flies are not an insect I get overly excited about. Madankollu, the enigmatic family Acroceridae are the exception.

Genius tal-XVII-Istampa

Normalment I jiltaqgħu artikli entomoloġija horrible regolarment biżżejjed li I ħlief xogħol b'lura għas-serje futur. Dan ma kienx il-każ matul l-aħħar ftit ġimgħat, I ma jiltaqgħu l-firxa normali ta 'crud media terribbli. Forsi I biss nikseb jaded u tieqaf tfittex bħala b'attenzjoni – but this week I even came . . . → Aqra Aktar: Genius tal-XVII-Istampa

Iċ-ċkejkna tal-kamla

Il-familja Nepticulidae għandha xi wħud mill-iżgħar kamla magħrufa, li jvarjaw minn 3-8mm wing-tip sa wing-tip. Għal paragun għandi immaġini żewġ kamla hawn fuq: l-akbar magħruf – Coscinocera hercules that tips the scales at nearly 9 pulzieri, u wieħed mill-iżgħar (yes that tiny little speck . . . → Aqra Aktar: Iċ-ċkejkna tal-kamla

Oops, qisu I qbiżt ewwel tiegħi "blogoversary"! It-tnejn l-21 kien il-punt kruċjali ta 'sena għall-blog tiegħi; u jien oerhört kuntenti li jkunu qattgħu l-aħħar sena qsim ta 'xi ramblings tiegħi mal kollha inti.
