Pertengahan minggu Misteri

Walaupun saya bekerja di jawatan yang lebih besar, anda boleh menamakan rama-rama ini – dan kilang itu harus cukup mudah juga. Bonus tambahan jika anda boleh meneka daerah (negeri tidak akan terlalu mengesankan) di mana saya mengambil gambar ini. Ini pra-DSLR, tetapi rentak lama saya sehingga canon titik-dan-pucuk tidak berjaya mendapatkan . . . → Baca Lebih: Pertengahan minggu Misteri

Kegilaan Raja

Bagi pembaca tetap blog saya anda mungkin sudah tahu pendirian saya pada raja, tetapi mengejar di sini jika anda ingin. Semalam saya terjumpa artikel ini di masa-masa LA – mengenai jajahan overwintering raja-raja di Pacific Grove, CA. Di sini, barat jurang benua, terdapat cukup . . . → Baca Lebih: Kegilaan Raja

Jenius Akhbar 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, there . . . → Baca Lebih: Jenius Akhbar XI

Genius of Press 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.

Lucah Rama-rama

Here is a hill-topping male Papilio zeliacon, atau walet Anise. Rama-rama ini meluas di negara-negara Pasifik barat dan mungkin jauh lebih biasa daripada dulu. Selepas pengenalan adas (Daucus carota), dan pelarian seterusnya dari hortikultur, burung walet anise dipegang sebagai rama-rama California yang biasa. Perhaps before this . . . → Baca Lebih: Lucah Rama-rama

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 . . . → Baca Lebih: This time, with a moth

The only bar in town

In eastern Lassen county, on the vast high juniper hills of the California-Nevada border, there are herds ofwildhorses, 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 . . . → Baca Lebih: The only bar in town

Di jalan raya lagi

Over the next week and a half I’ll be driving up to Washington state for the annual Lepidopterists’ Mesyuarat Persatuan. Ia terletak di bandar pelancongan-perangkap Leavenworth, yang merupakan “Bertema Bavaria” diorama poskad dan menyumbat kedai. Walaupun saya tidak pernah cukup memahami rayuan dari bandar-bandar yang bertemakan, it is something . . . → Baca Lebih: Di jalan raya lagi

Genius of the Press VIII

Welcome to volume eight of the inconsistently reoccurring series, Genius Akhbar. 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). . . . → Baca Lebih: Genius of the Press VIII

Ini rama-rama dan Me #12

Selamat datang ke The Moth dan Me #12, dan karnival blog pertama saya. Walaupun blog untuk beberapa bulan saya masih belum melihat dengan sambil merenung kembali bagaimana saya menjadi terpikat dengan Lepidoptera di tempat pertama. Mengingati masa atau lokasi di mana ini berlaku adalah mustahil, dan seperti . . . → Baca Lebih: Ini rama-rama dan Me #12
