While I work on a more substantial post, you can name this butterfly – and the plant should be pretty easy too. Extra bonus if you can guess the county (state won’t be too impressive) in which I took this photo.

Yesterday I came across this article in the LA times – glede prezimovanja kolonij monarhov v Pacific Groveju, CA. Tu zunaj, zahodno od celinske ločnice, there are quite a . . . → Preberite več: Monarhova norost Skupna raba tega! 4 Komentarji - (Komentarji so zaprti) Entomologija Metulji, Ohranjanje, Invazivnih vrst, Lepidoptera, Monarchs 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 . . . → Preberite več: Genij tiska XI Skupna raba tega!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. Skupna raba tega!Here is a hill-topping male Papilio zeliacon, ali janežev lastov rep. Ta metulj je zelo razširjen v državah zahodnega Pacifika in je verjetno veliko bolj pogost kot nekoč. Po uvedbi komarčka (Foeniculum vulgare), in kasnejši pobeg iz vrtnarstva, janeževa lastovka se je uveljavila kot navaden kalifornijski metulj.

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 . . . → Preberite več: Tokrat, z molj Skupna raba tega!V vzhodni Lassen občine, na prostrane visoke brinovimi hribih meji California, Nevada, obstajajo črede “wild” konji, ovce in govedo.

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.
