Chris Grinter, sausio 6 d, 2011% Sveiki atvykę į naujus metus, ir beveik visus metus dienoraščių! Tai nuostabi, kaip greitai laikas skrido, bet vėl kaip visada. Kaip jūs tikriausiai pastebėjote, gruodis pasirodė esąs mano silpniausia komandiravimo mėnesį Didžiulį 2 pranešimų. Rezoliucija: daugiau komandiravimo!
Dabar aš dar nepradėjo dienoraščių apie muziką (tiems, . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Vaiduoklis gimsta

Ši kandis yra tokia pat reta, kaip ir jos paranormalus bendravardis (išskyrus tai, kad tai tikra) – tai Gazoryctra sp. Hepialidae šeimoje. Jie atstovauja bazinei Lepidoptera giminei ir yra plačiai žinomi kaip kandžiai vaiduokliai arba greitieji drugiai.. Vaiduoklis – because males of some species are known to fly in . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Biologija vaiduoklis

natūraliai, it was named Phallus drewsii. This comes form the list of the top 10 species named in 2009, laikomasi Arizona State University (nėra labai geras sąrašas, jei 7 mano naujos rūšys nebuvo ten…). While I tend to avoid phallic and O’Keeffesque botany, this one I couldn’t resist because it . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Tiesiog per daug lengva
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 . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Taxonomy 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 . . . → Skaityti daugiau: I may drive too much

Another amazing animal from Hawaii – a completely amphibious caterpillar (published in the March 22 PNAS). 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. . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Aquamoth!
Chris Grinter, on February 21st, 2010% Taip, 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), . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Inaugural post
