A short clip from the brilliant show, Quite Interesting. The start of the discussion is in regards to cochineal bugs – although they refer to them as beetles! (see buggirl) Dalīties!A weekend without moths can lead a lepidopterist to do crazy things. Crazy enough to photograph a spider. Over the weekend I was accompanied to the eastern Sierra by fellow insect blogger, coworker and arachnologist, Tamazs Šuts. I was on the quest for more specimens of a new Hepialidae of which you may be familiar . . . → Lasīt vairāk: A Sierran Spider Dalīties! 5 komentāri - (Komentāri ir slēgti)  Entomoloģija  Kolekcionēšana, Entomoloģija, Lepidoptera, Kodes, Zirnekļi While I work on a more substantial post, you can name this butterfly – and the plant should be pretty easy too. Extra bonus if you can guess the county (state won’t be too impressive) in which I took this photo.

Šis tauriņš ir plaši izplatīta rietumu Klusā okeāna valstīm, un, iespējams, ir daudz biežāk, nekā tas bija kādreiz.
