Chris Grinter, on January 6th, 2011% 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 viestiä. Resolution: more posting!
Now I haven’t started blogging about music (for those . . . → Lue lisää: Aave syntyy

Tämä koi on lähes yhtä harvinainen kuin sen paranormaali kaima (paitsi että se on totta) – se on Gazoryctra sp. Hepialidae-heimoon. Ne edustavat perhosten peruslinjaa ja tunnetaan yleisesti haamuperhoina tai pikaperhoina. Aave – because males of some species are known to fly in . . . → Lue lisää: Aaveen biologia

Luonnollisesti, it was named Phallus drewsii. This comes form the list of the top 10 species named in 2009, Arizona State Universityn noudattama (ei kovin hyvä lista jos 7 uusia lajejani eivät olleet siellä…). While I tend to avoid phallic and O’Keeffesque botany, this one I couldn’t resist because it . . . → Lue lisää: Liian helppoa
Chris Grinter, on April 27th, 2010% 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”. Not the . . . → Lue lisää: Taksonomian Fail
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 . . . → Lue lisää: Saatan ajaa liikaa

Toinen hämmästyttävä eläin Havaijilta – täysin amfibinen toukka (julkaistiin maaliskuussa 22 PNAS). Vaikka on olemassa muutamia vedessä perhosia, ne kaikki on kidukset, että pitää ne rajoitetut veden (ota huomioon, puhumme vain toukka). Jos heidän virta ehtyy, niin tekee toukka. . . . → Lue lisää: Aquamoth!
Chris Grinter, on February 21st, 2010% Niin, 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), . . . → Lue lisää: Inaugural post
