Przez Chris Grinter, 2 maja, 2010% 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 floccifera – a CA endemic flower.

Przez Chris Grinter, on April 21st, 2010% 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… więc stay tuned.

Przez Chris Grinter, on April 7th, 2010% 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 . . . → Czytaj więcej: Moth tasting in Napa
Przez Chris Grinter, on April 5th, 2010% 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 . . . → Czytaj więcej: I may drive too much

Przez Chris Grinter, w dniu 29 marca, 2010% Kilka zdjęć z mojego weekendu mothing podróż w dół do Shell Creek, San Luis Obispo County. Wczesna wiosna wzdłuż środkowego wybrzeża jest oszałamiający, i drogi z powrotem obserwatorów były pełne kwiatów. Były dziesiątki samochodów zajmowane przez rodziny na przejażdżkę w weekend, many had packed lunches and sat to watch the . . . → Czytaj więcej: Rivers of Gold
Przez Chris Grinter, on March 25th, 2010% I came across the full-text PDF of the amphibious moth article and extracted the tree showing the radiation of this species group and probable evolution of the amphibious traits. Interesting to note the case shape, and each moth is endemic to its own volcano in the Hawaiian archipelago.
This is a Bayesian analysis of . . . → Czytaj więcej: Aquamoth część 2
Przez Chris Grinter, on February 21st, 2010% Tak, 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, Kalifornia. The massive wingspan, at 15mm, makes it pretty large for a Gelechiid moth. The genus, Gnorimoschema (pronounced nor-a-mosh-ma), . . . → Czytaj więcej: Inaugural post
