Polilla de hoy es un Crambidae marrón discreto, Loxostege brunneitincta. Si bien esto no es una polilla particularmente cautivante que sí tiene una historia interesante que ilustra la necesidad de colecciones científicas y préstamos de museos. Si usted lee la imagen de la etiqueta que te darás cuenta de la polilla se recogió inicialmente en 1927 by E. PAG.

La mayor parte de enero yo estaba ocupado con un movimiento, desde San Francisco a Chicago.

This Monday moth is a stunning female of the Neotropical Megalopygidae – Trosia nigrorufa. Ed Ross and Ev Schlinger collected this specimen in Peru in 1955, and I’ve heard many stories about these epic expeditions. I can’t really imagine travelling via cargo ship, being gone for six or more . . . → Leer más: Lunes Moth Compartir este! los comentarios están cerrados Entomología Academia de Ciencias de California, Recolección, Entomología, Lepidópteros, Megalopygidae, Lunes Moth, Polillas Oops, I skipped last monday’s moth, so here are two! These are some stunners from the CAS Philippines expedition and I think I have figured out their names. If you know better, please correct me.

While the majority of the cash was spent on a clipper ship and dive teams, there was a terrestrial component.

It was a good guess because there are so many large and stunning moths in this family from Australia. One of the best has to be this one, Wingia lambertella (Oecophoridae), captured on Black Mountain in Canberra October 23, 1955 (CAS collections). . . . → Leer más: Lunes Moth Compartir este!

We have a handful of representatives of this group here in the US and Ted MacRae over on Beetles in the Bush has a few great photographs of them.

This moth can be common in tall grasses along beaches from San Francisco to LA – although in recent decades the numbers of this moth have been declining with habitat destruction and the invasion of beach grass (Ammophila arenaria).

I will also focus on highlighting a new species each week from the massive collections here at the California Academy of Sciences.
