The Monarchs Are All Right

Shockingly, stunningly, amazingly; the monarchs are back (but not co-staring Julianne Moore). Bine, it’s not that amazing; I pretty much predicted this would be the case last March when everyone was running around terrified because the butterflies hit an all time low (since counting started in 1993). Actually I believe I saidI will . . . → Citeste mai mult: The Monarchs Are All Right

Genius of the Press XVI

A softball for this GOP challenge. This image comes care of the Victoria Advocate (TX paper) – with a poorly written article about butterflies. This image flop is pretty easy, but for extra points who can tell me what else is incorrect in the text?

Entomophagy: molii pentru cină

I have always known that in many places of the world, especially off the beaten track, caterpillars of moths and butterflies are on the menu.

But here in the US insects rarely if . . . → Citeste mai mult: Entomophagy: molii pentru cină

A ghost is born

Welcome to the new year, and nearly a full year of blogging! It’s amazing how fast the time flew by, but again it always does. As you likely noticed December turned out to be my weakest posting month with a whopping 2 posts. Resolution: more posting!

Now I haven’t started blogging about music (for those . . . → Citeste mai mult: A ghost is born

"Tis sezonului pentru a da

Știu ce am speranța de la Mos Craciun in acest an!

Bine, nu într-adevăr. În realitate nu colectează fluturi, și mai ales nu aceste birdwings gigant. Ele sunt animale uimitoare, dar în afară de a fi mare, ele sunt, de asemenea, costisitoare (exemplarele medii merge timp de aproximativ o sută de dolari).

Geniul presei XII

Another not all that difficult GOP challenge, found here from the Scottish TV website. What’s wrong with the story below?

Un pic de umor britanic(u)r

Un scurt clip din spectacolul genial, Destul de interesant. Începutul discuției este în ceea ce privește insectele de coșenilă – deși se referă la ei ca gândaci! (see buggirl)

Un păianjen sieran

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, Tamas Szuts. Am fost pe căutarea pentru mai multe exemplare ale unei noi Hepialidae de care puteți fi familiar . . . → Citeste mai mult: Un păianjen sieran
