Przez Chris Grinter, on July 16th, 2010% A few months ago I was out collecting in western Arizona and failed to follow through with any images or updates on that trip.

Witaj w ćmie i mnie #12, i mój pierwszy blogowy karnawał. Pomimo blogowania od kilku miesięcy, muszę jeszcze spojrzeć wstecz i zastanowić się, jak w ogóle zakochałem się w Lepidoptera. Zapamiętanie czasu lub miejsca, w którym to się stało, jest niemożliwe, and like . . . → Czytaj więcej: Ćma i ja #12

For those who are not aware, a new book hit the market at the end of last year. “The Moths of Western North America“, Powell and Opler. At only $95 it’s worth every cent (lub $75 for the e-book, but I hate e-books). It’s a remarkable tome and the first of its kind . . . → Czytaj więcej: To all you Moth-ers
