Posljednja četiri vikenda sada sam u jurnjavi za guskom, za jedan mjesec, Heliolonche celeris. To je prekrasna mala Noctuidae s ružičastim prednjim krilima i zadivljujućim narančasto-crvenim stražnjim krilima. It isn’t very often encountered and only found along the northern California mountain ranges feeding on Malacothrix floccifera – CA endemski cvijet.

Still have at least another 200 to go before catching up on my backlog. I am working on illustrating just how to spread these moths… tako Stay tuned. 2009 was a great season.

I was scouting some new territory for a small flower moth, Heliolonche celeris, that apparently is waiting for more contiguous nice weather to emerge.

Nadolazeće toplo vrijeme inducirana je sve previše poznati osjećaj, onaj koji sam trebao biti izvan prikupljanja kukaca i ne sjedi u zatvorenom prostoru!

This moth was collected last year outside of Santa Barbara, CA. The massive wingspan, at 15mm, makes it pretty large for a Gelechiid moth.
