Id-dinja tal-insetti mikroskopiċi hija waħda differenti ħafna minn tagħna u rari ningħataw ħjiel fiha. Thanks in part to the impressive Phantom camera system and the Flight Artists project researchers have filmed the minute (1mm!) Trichogramma wasp (Chalcidoidea) fit-titjira.

Ikkonverti nigrorufa (Megalopygidae)

 

Din il-kamla tat-Tnejn hija mara tal-isturdament tan-Neotropical Megalopygidae – Ikkonverti nigrorufa. Ed Ross u Ev Schlinger ġabru dan il-kampjun fil-Peru fil 1955, u smajt ħafna stejjer dwar dawn l-ispedizzjonijiet epiċi. Ma nistax verament nimmaġina li nivvjaġġa permezz tal-vapur tal-merkanzija, being gone for six or more . . . → Aqra Aktar: It-tnejn Moth

Oops, Qabejt il-kamla tat-Tnejn li għadda, allura hawn tnejn! These are some stunners from the CAS Philippines expedition and I think I have figured out their names. If you know better, please correct me.

I snapped dan shot madwar 9,000 saqajn fuq il-plateau Kaibab fil Northern Arizona aħħar xahar. A fire must have burned the area a few years ago . . . → Aqra Aktar: It-tnejn Moth

Insetti tal-Filippini I

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. While I didn’t get to go (and sat at home and pouted), I did talk some of . . . → Aqra Aktar: Insetti tal-Filippini I

It-tnejn Moth

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

Genius of the Press XX

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 sitesbut here is a brief and painful lep roundup using Google.

Moth Dancing

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

NABA dawriet Ħut u Wildlife fis zombies brainless

Frisk off-presses, il-Blue Butterfly Miami (MBB) issa hija elenkata bħala federalment f'perikolu minn att ta 'dispożizzjoni ta' emerġenza. Ħuzza! (dritt?)

Ewwel ħsieb tiegħi kien “stenna, ma kienx dan diġà fil-periklu?”. Iva, jinstabx l MBB ġie istat f'periklu minħabba 2002 wara emerġenza preċedenti . . . → Aqra Aktar: NABA dawriet Ħut u Wildlife fis zombies brainless

It-tnejn Moth

 

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. Hemm ħafna microleps oħra li għandhom imġieba taż-żfin jew tal-wiri, but there are almost no other videos online . . . → Aqra Aktar: It-tnejn Moth
