Av Chris Grinter, den 2 maj, 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.

Av Chris Grinter, den 23 april, 2010% Jag har precis illustrerat min metod för att sprida microlepidoptera, gå utforska sidan tekniker. Vem är modig nog att försöka det?
Av Chris Grinter, den 21 april, 2010% Jag har varit upptagen sprida microleps under de senaste dagarna, och här är ett axplock från mina sommar samla resor. Fortfarande har åtminstone en annan 200 att gå innan ikapp på min eftersläpning. Jag jobbar på att illustrera hur att sprida dessa malar… så håll ögonen öppna.

Av 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 . . . → Läs mer: Moth tasting in Napa
Av 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 . . . → Läs mer: Jag kan köra för mycket
Av Chris Grinter, on April 1st, 2010% A continuation of the aquamoth series, this time with video from Science Friday! Ja, I have to link it because wordpress won’t embed… Thanks Ted, figured it out!
Av Chris Grinter, on March 29th, 2010% 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 . . . → Läs mer: Floder av Guld
Av Chris Grinter, on March 25th, 2010% Jag kom över hela PDF-filen av amfibiemalartikeln och extraherade trädet som visar strålningen från denna artgrupp och den troliga utvecklingen av de amfibiska egenskaperna. Intressant att notera fallets form, och varje nattfjäril är endemisk till sin egen vulkan i Hawaiis skärgård.

Av Chris Grinter, den 21 februari, 2010% Så, 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, CA. The massive wingspan, at 15mm, makes it pretty large for a Gelechiid moth.
