Besterik ez da, ez utzi pakean

Nire eguneroko Absys Berkeleyko atzera, Ikusi dut honen (the cruddy irudi apologies). Benetan, Ikusi dut horien eskukada bat irekiko San Francisco inguruan eta nire ilea alderik aldi bakoitzean nahi me egiten du. Horiek nire blog berria nor dira egiteko, honek atzera egingo nire Genio izateko . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Besterik ez da, ez utzi pakean

Mid-week Mystery

While I work on a more substantial post, you can name this butterflyand the plant should be pretty easy too. Extra bonus if you can guess the county (state won’t be too impressive) in which I took this photo. This was pre-DSLR, but my old beat up canon point-and-shoot did manage to get . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Mid-week Mystery

Monarch Madness

For regular readers of my blog you might already know my stance on the monarch, but catch up here if you’d like to. Yesterday I came across this article in the LA timesregarding the overwintering colonies of monarchs in Pacific Grove, beraz, ezin dut esan. Out here, west of the continental divide, there are quite a . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Monarch Madness

Prentsa Jeinua X

This one is just too easy. Karteldegia I-35 Burleson hegoaldean dago, Texas.

Tximeleta Pornografia

Here is a hill-topping male Papilio zeliacon, edo Anise enara-buztana. Tximeleta hau Ozeano Bareko mendebaldeko estatuetan oso hedatuta dago eta ziurrenik lehen zena baino askoz ere ohikoagoa da. Mihilua sartu ondoren (Foeniculum vulgare), eta gero lorategitik ihes egitea, anis enara-buztanak Kaliforniako tximeleta arrunt gisa hartu zuen. Perhaps before this . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Tximeleta Pornografia

This time, with a moth

Here are a few more images from my recent northern road trip, this time from western Idaho. Right outside the town of New Meadows were fields of flowers thick with life. It was some of the best day collecting I’ve done in years, and fellow road tripper Peter Jump and I discovered this . . . → Gehiago irakurri: This time, with a moth

The only bar in town

In eastern Lassen county, on the vast high juniper hills of the California-Nevada border, there are herds ofwildhorses, sheep and cattle. Par for the course, the only flowering plant around was horehound (Marrubium vulgare). Despite the non-native flora and (semi)mega-fauna, the insects were still at home. Being the only nectar source, the small . . . → Gehiago irakurri: The only bar in town

Genius of the Press VIII

Welcome to volume eight of the inconsistently reoccurring series, Prentsaren jenioa. I came across this article recently regarding an endemic Puerto Rican butterfly. Who can tell me exactly why this report is misleading? It may be a little trickier than the standard GOP (I suggest discarding any previously associated acronyms with those letters). . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Genius of the Press VIII

An Awesome Little Butterfly

A once in a lifetime occurrence, aldebiko ginandromorfoa. Laburbilduz, a glitch during cell differentiation creates asymmetrical chromosome patterns, which leads to asymmetrical sex expression in the adult insect. If you haven’t clicked the link above, do so, it’s an excellent description with some awesome photos.

A local park official who was visiting the north eastern province Arunachal Pradesh was taken at night by a gang of armed youth-rebels.
