Welcome to the new year, and nearly a full year of blogging! It’s amazing how fast the time flew by, but again it always does. As you likely noticed December turned out to be my weakest posting month with a whopping 2 posts. Resolution: more posting! Now I haven’t started blogging about music (for those . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Mamu bat jaio da Share honetan! 3 iruzkinak - (Iruzkinak itxita daude)  Entomología  Entomología, Eremua Museoa, Lepidoptera, Sitsak, Espezie berria, 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.

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, beraz, ezin dut esan.
