Von Chris Grinter, am 8. September, 2010% Während ich arbeite auf einer erheblichen Beitrag, Sie können diesen Schmetterling nennen – und die Anlage sollte recht einfach zu sein. Extra-Bonus, wenn Sie den Kreis erraten (Staat nicht allzu beeindruckend sein) , in der Ich nahm dieses Foto. Dies wurde vor-DSLR, aber meine alte schlagen oben Kanon Point-and-Shoot-habe es geschafft, bekommen . . . → Weiterlesen: Mitte der Woche Geheimnis
Von Chris Grinter, am 6. September, 2010% Für regelmäßige Leser meines Blogs können Sie schon meine Haltung in der Monarchen kennen, aber aufholen Sie hier, wenn Sie möchten,. Gestern kam ich auf diesen Artikel in der LA Times – zu den Überwinterungskolonien der Monarchen in Pacific Grove, CA. Hier draußen, westlich der kontinentalen Wasserscheide, gibt es eine ganze . . . → Weiterlesen: Monarch Wahnsinn
Von Chris Grinter, on August 27th, 2010% This genius of the press is extra special, not for its difficulty, but for its redundancy. I found the same story carried on two separate sources, with different images – and both equally incorrect! I can imagine that it won’t take long for someone to point out exactly what’s wrong with these stories (hint, there . . . → Weiterlesen: Genius des Presse XI
Von Chris Grinter, on August 9th, 2010% This one is just too easy. The billboard is on I-35 south of Burleson, Texas.
I don’t know the true provenance of this image, but it came my way from Omar Bocanegra via Mike Quinn on the Texas Lepidoptera list-serv.

Here is a hill-topping male Papilio zeliacon, oder Anis-Schwalbenschwanz. Dieser Schmetterling ist in den westlichen Pazifikstaaten weit verbreitet und wahrscheinlich viel häufiger als früher. Nach der Einführung von Fenchel (Gewöhnlicher Fenchel), und anschließende Flucht aus dem Gartenbau, Der Anis-Schwalbenschwanz etablierte sich als gewöhnlicher kalifornischer Schmetterling. Perhaps before this . . . → Weiterlesen: Schmetterlings-Porno
Von Chris Grinter, on July 26th, 2010% Here are a few more images from my recent northern road trip, this time from western Idaho. Right outside the town of New Meadows were fields of flowers thick with life. It was some of the best day collecting I’ve done in years, and fellow road tripper Peter Jump and I discovered this . . . → Weiterlesen: This time, with a moth
Von Chris Grinter, on July 24th, 2010% In eastern Lassen county, on the vast high juniper hills of the California-Nevada border, there are herds of “wild” horses, sheep and cattle. Par for the course, the only flowering plant around was horehound (Marrubium vulgare). Despite the non-native flora and (semi)mega-fauna, the insects were still at home. Being the only nectar source, the small . . . → Weiterlesen: The only bar in town

Over the next week and a half I’ll be driving up to Washington state for the annual Lepidopterists’ Society Meeting. It is located in the tourist-trap town of Leavenworth, which is a “Bavarian themed” diorama of postcard and clog shops. While I can never quite understand the appeal of themed towns, it is something . . . → Weiterlesen: On the road again
Von Chris Grinter, on June 26th, 2010% Welcome to volume eight of the inconsistently reoccurring series, Genie der Presse. I came across this article recently regarding an endemic Puerto Rican butterfly. Who can tell me exactly why this report is misleading? It may be a little trickier than the standard GOP (I suggest discarding any previously associated acronyms with those letters). . . . → Weiterlesen: Genius of the Press VIII

Welcome to The Moth and Me #12, and my first blog carnival. Despite blogging for a few months I have yet to take a look back and reflect on exactly how I became enamored with lepidoptera in the first place. Remembering a time or location where this happened is impossible, and like . . . → Weiterlesen: Die Motte und ich #12
