Lár na seachtaine Mystery

Cé Tá mé ag obair ar an bpost í níos substaintiúla, is féidir leat ainm an féileacán – agus ba chóir na plandaí a bheith éasca go leor freisin. Bónas breise más féidir leat buille faoi thuairim an chontae (Ní bheidh an stáit a bheith ró-suntasach) inar ghlac mé an grianghraf. Bhí sé seo réamh-DSLR, ach raibh mo buille sean suas Canónta pointe-agus-shoot a bhainistiú a fháil . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Lár na seachtaine Mystery

Monarch Madness

Maidir le léitheoirí rialta a dhéanamh ar mo bhlag d'fhéadfadh a fhios agat cheana féin mo seasamh ar an monarc, ach teacht suas anseo más mian leat a. Inné tháinig mé trasna airteagal seo i gcónaí LA – maidir le coilíneachtaí overwintering na monarchs i Pacific Grove, CA. Amach anseo, thiar den deighilt ilchríochach, tá go leor le . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Monarch Madness

Genius of the Press XI

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 imagesand 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, ann . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Genius of the Press XI

Genius an Phreasa X

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.

Féileacán porn

Seo zeliacon Papilio fireann cnoc-bearrtha, nó ainís swallowtail. Tá an féileacán forleathan sna stáit an Aigéin Chiúin an iarthair agus is dócha i bhfad níos coitianta ná mar a bhí sé aon uair amháin. Tar éis tabhairt isteach na finéal (Vulgare Foeniculum), agus éalú ina dhiaidh sin ó gairneoireachta, ghlac an swallowtail anise shealbhú mar California féileacán coiteann. B'fhéidir roimhe seo . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Féileacán porn

This time, with a moth

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 . . . → Leigh Nios mo: This time, with a moth

An barra ach amháin i mbaile

In oirthear an chontae Lassen, ar na cnoic aitil ard mór na teorann California-Nevada, tá tréada de “fiáin” capaill, caorach agus eallach. Par don chúrsa, bhí an gléasra bláthanna ach timpeall horehound (Marrubium vulgare). In ainneoin na flóra neamh-dúchais agus (leath)mega-fauna, bhí na feithidí fós sa bhaile. Bheith ar an fhoinse neachtar amháin, an beag . . . → Leigh Nios mo: An barra ach amháin i mbaile

On the road again

Over the next week and a half I’ll be driving up to Washington state for the annual LepidopteristsSociety meeting. It is located in the tourist-trap town of Leavenworth, which is aBavarian themeddiorama of postcard and clog shops. While I can never quite understand the appeal of themed towns, it is something . . . → Leigh Nios mo: On the road again

Genius an Phreasa VIII

Fáilte go dtí toirt ocht gcinn de na sraithe neamhréireach reoccurring, Genius an Phreasa. Tháinig mé trasna airteagal seo le déanaí maidir le féileacán endemic Rican Puerto. Cé atá in ann a insint dom go díreach cén fáth go bhfuil an tuarascáil seo míthreorach? D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith beagán trickier ná an GOP caighdeánach (Mé le fios chaitheamh ar bith hacrainmneacha a bhaineann leis na litreacha roimhe). . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Genius an Phreasa VIII

An Leamhan agus Mise #12

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, agus is maith . . . → Leigh Nios mo: An Leamhan agus Mise #12
