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 . . . → مزید پڑھیں: A ghost is born اس اشتراک کریں!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.

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).

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, سی اے. The massive wingspan, at 15mm, makes it pretty large for a Gelechiid moth. The genus, Gnorimoschema (pronounced nor-a-mosh-ma), . . . → مزید پڑھیں: Inaugural post اس اشتراک کریں! |
