ಕಲೆ ಒಂದು ಗೂಸ್ ಚೇಸ್

For the last four weekends now I have been on a goose chase, for one moth, Heliolonche celeris. It’s a beautiful small Noctuidae with pinkish forewings and stunning orange-red hindwings. It isn’t very often encountered and only found along the northern California mountain ranges feeding on Malacothrix flocciferaa CA endemic flower. Every trip . . . → ಓದಿ: ಕಲೆ ಒಂದು ಗೂಸ್ ಚೇಸ್

How I keep myself busy

I’ve been busy spreading microleps over the last few days, and here is a small selection from my summer collecting trips. 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… ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಎಂದರೆ ಉಳಿಯಲು.

2009 was a great season. I . . . → ಓದಿ: How I keep myself busy

ನಾಪಾ ರಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಳು ರುಚಿಯ

It was a beautiful day today in the bay area, so I headed up to Napa and the Pope Valley. I was scouting some new territory for a small flower moth, Heliolonche celeris, that apparently is waiting for more contiguous nice weather to emerge. This season has been a bit tardy because of all of . . . → ಓದಿ: ನಾಪಾ ರಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಳು ರುಚಿಯ

I may drive too much

The clouds broke this afternoon in San Francisco and the sun began to shine. The upcoming warm weather induced an all too familiar feeling, one that I should be out collecting insects and not sitting indoors! While I have already been to a handful of places this spring, I have a long season of collecting . . . → ಓದಿ: I may drive too much

Aquamoth ಭಾಗ 3

Aquamoth ಸರಣಿಯ ಮುಂದುವರಿದು, ಸೈನ್ಸ್ ಶುಕ್ರವಾರ ವೀಡಿಯೊ ಈ ಸಮಯ! ಹೌದು, ವರ್ಡ್ಪ್ರೆಸ್ ಎಂಬೆಡ್ ಯಾಕೆಂದರೆ ನಾನು ಲಿಂಕ್ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು… ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು ಟೆಡ್, ಅದನ್ನು ಕಾಣಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿತು!

Rivers of Gold

A few images from my weekend mothing trip down to Shell Creek, San Luis Obispo County. Early spring along the central coast is stunning, and the back roads were packed with flower watchers. There were dozens of cars occupied by families out for a weekend drive, many had packed lunches and sat to watch the . . . → ಓದಿ: Rivers of Gold

Inaugural post

ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ, how do I begin a new blog? Tough question, but perhaps this is a good time to show off a fun new species. This moth was collected last year outside of Santa Barbara, ಅದು. The massive wingspan, at 15mm, makes it pretty large for a Gelechiid moth. The genus, Gnorimoschema (pronounced nor-a-mosh-ma), . . . → ಓದಿ: Inaugural post
