Tere tulemast uude aastasse, ja peaaegu terve aasta blogimist! See on hämmastav, kui kiiresti aeg lendas, aga jällegi teeb seda alati. Nagu ilmselt märkasite, osutus detsember minu nõrgimaks postitamiskuuks ilmatu 2 postitusi. Resolutsioon: rohkem postitamist! Nüüd pole ma muusikast blogima hakanud (for those . . . → Loe edasi: Kummitus sünnib Jagage seda! 3 Kommentaarid - (Kommentaarid on suletud)  Entomoloogia  Entomoloogia, Põllu muuseum, Lepidoptera, Koid, Uued liigid, Sierra Nevada This moth is just about as rare as its paranormal namesake (except that it’s real) – it’s a Gazoryctra sp. in the family Hepialidae. They represent a basal lineage of the Lepidoptera and are commonly known as ghost moths or swift moths. Ghost – because males of some species are known to fly in . . . → Loe edasi: Kummituse bioloogia Jagage seda! 6 Kommentaarid - (Kommentaarid on suletud) Entomoloogia Käitumine, Entomoloogia, Lepidoptera, Koid, Uued liigid Loomulikult, it was named Phallus drewsii. This comes form the list of the top 10 species named in 2009, complied by Arizona State University (not a very good list if 7 of my new species weren’t on there…). While I tend to avoid phallic and O’Keeffesque botany, this one I couldn’t resist because it . . . → Loe edasi: Just too Easy Jagage seda!Recently came across some ridiculously horrible taxonomy from China (.pdf). If you scroll down a bit you can see the english translation. At first glance this looks like a standard taxonomy paper with bare-bones species descriptions. You might even think to yourself, “huh, wonder why they are describing species from only one specimen”.

The upcoming warm weather induced an all too familiar feeling, one that I should be out collecting insects and not sitting indoors!

While there are a few aquatic Lepidoptera, all of them have gills that keep them restricted to the water (mind you, we are talking only about the larval stage). If their stream dries up, so does the caterpillar. . . . → Loe edasi: Aquamoth! Jagage seda!Nii, 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. The genus, Gnorimoschema (pronounced nor-a-mosh-ma), . . . → Loe edasi: Avapostitus Jagage seda! |
