Astelehena sits

Whoops, it’s almost Tuesday! Above is Schinia ligeae (Noctuidae) resting on its host plant Xylorhiza tortifolia, the Mojave Aster. I photographed this about three weeks ago outside the town of Big Pine, California. The asters were thick in the valleys below the snow capped Sierra, and the moths were abundant. . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Astelehena sits

Araknologoak lehorreratu dira

Ados, not an insect

 

Hurrengo hiru asteetan Kaliforniako Zientzien Akademiako Araknologia laborategiko lankideak Filipinetan daude! (ez, ez jeloskor batere…) Bidaia CAS Hearst espedizioaren parte da, a massive effort spanning all of our research departments to survey . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Araknologoak lehorreratu dira

Igandeko Sitsa

 

Everyone is familiar with the famous death’s head hawkmoth, baina uste dut pena bat dela halako pertsonaia latz bat popularizatu izana. Goian Guyana Frantseseko Neotropical Arctiinae askoz alaiagoa dago, pailazo aurpegia daramala dirudiena. Zoritxarrez, hau ez da nire argazkia, baina . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Igandeko Sitsa

Cal Academy Tximeletak

Up engranaje dudan substantzia-mezu gehiago nahi izanez gero, berriz,, gozatu California Zientzien Akademia tximeleta bildumaren bideo labur honetan. Dr. Arau Penny gure harribitxi batzuk partekatzeko lan bikaina egiten du, da besterik ere txarra bideoa ez da edozein luzeagoa (edo moths buruz!).

Eremua atzera

Bihar hasiko da etapa 1 landa-lana / ero gidatzeko eta oporrak denbora. Bidaia-etapa honetarako biltzeko on egingo dut zentratu egingo, Texas hegoaldean talka besterik buztana jaitsiera hegan moths amaieran denborarik generoko Schinia batean. Baina microleps nire interes nagusia dira, eta ziur etorriko naiz atzera ehunka naiz . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Eremua atzera

Denbora flown

Wow Da aste gutxi izan da nire azken post geroztik, eta pixka bat lotsatzen ondoren utzi hain luze joan naiz. Zer dut ibili den? Ez osotasunean ez. No ikusgarria biltzeko bidaiak, no espezie edo aurkikuntza berriak. Benetan izan dut mikroskopio baten genitalian dissecting eserita edo parasito euli guneko datu baseak dut. Egingo daukat . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Denbora flown

A Sierran Spider

A weekend without moths can lead a lepidopterist to do crazy things. Crazy enough to photograph a spider. Over the weekend I was accompanied to the eastern Sierra by fellow insect blogger, coworker and arachnologist, Tamas Szuts. I was on the quest for more specimens of a new Hepialidae of which you may be familiar . . . → Gehiago irakurri: A Sierran Spider

Joera berri kezkagarria?

Pictured is a black-veined white (Aporia crataegi ssp), and it is currently being returned to the Korean Institute of Biological Resources. Loans get returned, as they should be, every dayand can even number in the thousands of specimens. I myself have a few hundred moths out on loan from a handful of . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Joera berri kezkagarria?
