New page!

Look above, I’ve created a new page for techniques. Ever wonder how something is done? Ask me how and I will illustrate.

Stupid buttefly of the week

Know this butterfly? It’s OK, no one really does. It is in the genus Apodemia (Riodinidae), but the taxonomy of this group is a disasterand don’t even get me started on the subspecies. This specimen was photographed in September, meaning it is most likely to be Apodemia mormo (mormo) based . . . → Opširnije: Stupid buttefly of the week

In the field

One of the perks of being an entomologist is traveling and collecting. I put a few thousand miles on the car every summer and these are two of the best places in Arizona to collect. The top image is from the Baboquivari Mountains (Baboquivari Peak in the middle), Brown Canyon Research Station. . . . → Opširnije: In the field

Time-lapse leptira

Unatoč tome što je prilično nezainteresirani za leptire, oni su prilično pogledati. Ovdje je stvarno veliki video od čovjeka poznajem dolje u južnoj CA. Njegovi time-lapse videa leptira životnih ciklusa su prilično impresivni, i to je jedan posebno je lijep. Ako ste izrezati na oko 3:00 u, vidjet ćete na desetke . . . → Opširnije: Time-lapse leptira

His invention basically made DNA analysis possible. But like Pauling, he is also completely and totally nuts. If you have . . . → Opširnije: Sad but true

OK butterfly people, who am I?

This is an old image of mine, so it’s not perfect. If you can tell me this butterfly to species you get a high-five. If you know the subspecies, I’ll send you a new pack of #3 stainless steel pins! Only hint: It’s from the western USA.

NY Times FAIL – Akupunktura

Danas sam pronašao ovaj članak u NY times health – promicanje prednosti akupunkture koja se koristi za ublažavanje depresije kod trudnica. Imam nekoliko problema s novinarom, Shirley S. Wang, ne uspijevajući ostati skeptična u svom komadu. Ali ovo ne čudi, pa se neću truditi isticati očite nedostatke . . . → Opširnije: NY Times FAIL – Akupunktura

Ming’s Myth

I love Ming Tsai and his cooking empire as much as the next 3-am TV viewer. Zapravo, his recipes are fantastic and you should make them yourself. But I have noticed an odd tendency for him to say (parafrazirano) “you should always use organic, it’s much better for you”. This leaves me a bit puzzled. . . . → Opširnije: Ming’s Myth
