Iarthair Arizona

A few months ago I was out collecting in western Arizona and failed to follow through with any images or updates on that trip. Bhuel, it was a success and well worth the miles to get there! I was searching for a Crambid moth in the mountains of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge (special thanks . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Iarthair Arizona

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

Biology of a Ghost

Féileacáin Bealtaine (agus leamhan)

Díreach cúpla íomhánna de leps California coitianta, a glacadh ar feadh an raon chósta in aice le Santa Cruz cúpla seachtain ó shin. Ag tosú ag obair ar mo bhealach a dhéanamh tríd roinnt riaráiste grianghraf…

Chun an tsraith tráth na gceist is annamh a reoccurring, anseo tá íomhá nua. Cé hé an moth?

Ní mór a bheith in aghaidh an lae nuachta mall…

Le Chóiré teetering ar an imeall le cogadh te, tubaiste éiceolaíoch ar comhréir bhfacthas riamh roimhe agus corraíl sibhialta i Iamáice (duine éigin harshed n-mellow) – díreach tar éis a ainm a lua de ceannlínte an lae inniu ó fhoinsí eile – Bíonn CNN an t-am a fluff suas a leathanach tosaigh.

An Leamhan agus Mise #11

An bhfuil a bhí sa phost díreach os cionn ag ciaróga sa Bush. Téigh thar agus iniúchadh a dhéanamh ar an charnabhail moth is déanaí, bailiú na blaganna go bhfuil leamhain feiceáil i bhealach amháin nó eile thar na míosa seo caite nó mar sin.

Dóibh siúd nach bhfuil ar an eolas, bhuail leabhar nua ar an margadh ag deireadh na bliana seo caite. “An Leamhain d'Iarthar Mheiriceá Thuaidh“, Powell agus Opler. Ag amháin $95 is fiú gach gcéad (nó $75 don r-leabhar, ach is fuath liom r-leabhair). Tá sé Tome iontach agus an chéad cheann dá leithéid . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Chun go léir tú Leamhan-ers

Chumhrán Leamhan

Ó phiobair Pericopinae. Thaifeadadh mé an físeán seo ar an láthair i dtuaisceart na Costa Rica cúpla bliain ó shin. Nuair a shroich mé síos a phiocadh suas an moth, bhí sé deacair a sheachaint noticing an iompar. An moth, Cheton angulosa (Erebidae: Pericopina) ((úsáidtear a bheith Arctiidae)), Tá meicníocht cosanta coiteann don ghrúpa – siad . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Chumhrán Leamhan
