De Chris Grinter, pe 19 martie, 2010% Cu toate acestea, o altă tranșă din seria mea preferată, geniul presei. Acest articol vine de la știri ABC, care poate identifica această omidă? Este incontestabil NU o molie tigan.
Entomologie coleg blogger Myrmecos a avut o poveste similară săptămâna trecută.

Monarhii au început de primăvară de la nord de migrație și s-ar putea vedea chiar o curând (nu interesant dacă locuiți în FL sau HI cazul în care există rezidenți pe tot parcursul anului, sau în CA în care există pete iernare separat). Rapoartele din locațiile lor de iarnă în Mexic cu toate acestea sunt sumbre; cu, eventual, cel mai mic . . . → Citeste mai mult: Off cu capetele lor!

Not the typical butterfly – but this is the protein folding structure from a South American hemorrhagic fever – the Machupo virus. The article was found on Science Daily. A striking resemblance to a butterfly, maybe even a Hesperiidae (photo from Butterflies of America).

Know this butterfly? It’s OK, no one really does. It is in the genus Apodemia (Riodinidae), but the taxonomy of this group is a disaster… and don’t even get me started on the subspecies. This specimen was photographed in September, meaning it is most likely to be Apodemia mormo (mormo) based . . . → Citeste mai mult: Stupid buttefly of the week
De Chris Grinter, în 23 februarie, 2010% Despite being pretty disinterested in butterflies, they are pretty to look at. Here is a really great video by a guy I know down in Southern CA.

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.

De Chris Grinter, on February 21st, 2010% Așa, how do I begin a new blog? Tough question, but perhaps this is a good time to show off a fun new species. This moth was collected last year outside of Santa Barbara, CA. The massive wingspan, at 15mm, makes it pretty large for a Gelechiid moth.
