週一蛾

這個星期一我要離開通常的牛蒡子,去做一些完全不同的事情 – 小腿! 這是鼴鼠科, 紅花柱頭菌, 它以驚人的速度測量 6 毫米. 我不能因為傳播這種飛蛾而受到讚揚 – 我拍攝的所有 nepticulids 都來自加州科學院,由 Dave Wagner 傳播,當時他正在這裡攻讀博士後職位.

毛毛蟲在樹葉的上部開採 犀牛屬 並且僅在加利福尼亞州內華達山脈的山腳下為人所知. 如果您願意,該屬的北美物種的修訂是自由的 在這裡可用 (.PDF).

5 註釋週一蛾

  • I could almost get interested in microleps, just for the challenge of getting good at spreading them.

    It’s interesting – 天秤似乎並不有比例得到微小的飛蛾.

  • 所以, 我猜這是一種飛行的bug如此之小,它涉及的物理現象是不同的一個例子, 所以翼不同於他們將在可比的,但是,備受大蛾? 或者是不完全發生在這個規模? 我不記得什麼空氣相對高粘度確實給翅膀.

    HM… 現在,我想的翅膀開始看更像是超小傳單VS槳. 羽毛狀這樣?

    所以, 是如何形成的一溜評論. =)

    • I think you are correct, that once you get this small the moth ends upswimmingthrough the air more than flying. Many micros have increased their wing surface using long scales instead of a solid surface, I bet the greater surface area helps with flight. I do know there are some impressive wasps that are much smaller than this moth and have even less wing-like wings! I don’t know the physics at all though
