This one is just too easy. The billboard is on I-35 south of Burleson, Texas.

I don’t know the true provenance of this image, but it came my way from Omar Bocanegra via Mike Quinn on the Texas Lepidoptera list-serv.

Western Arizona

A few months ago I was out collecting in western Arizona and failed to follow through with any images or updates on that trip. Gut, it was a success and well worth the miles to get there! I was searching for a Crambid moth in the mountains of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge (special thanks . . . → Weiterlesen: Western Arizona

On the road again

Over the next week and a half I’ll be driving up to Washington state for the annual Lepidopterists’ Society Meeting. It is located in the tourist-trap town of Leavenworth, which is aBavarian themeddiorama of postcard and clog shops. While I can never quite understand the appeal of themed towns, it is something . . . → Weiterlesen: On the road again

Genie der Presse, v. VI

It’s good to throw a changeup every one in a while, and this week here is an article that is actually GOOD. Ja, you read it here first, a positive article about entomology collections. We all need a breather after that Fox news fiasco with the Michigan State collection. The Honolulu Magazine does a really . . . → Weiterlesen: Genie der Presse, v. VI

2009 was a great season. I . . . → Weiterlesen: Wie ich mich selbst beschäftigt zu halten

Moth tasting in Napa

It was a beautiful day today in the bay area, so I headed up to Napa and the Pope Valley. I was scouting some new territory for a small flower moth, Heliolonche celeris, that apparently is waiting for more contiguous nice weather to emerge. This season has been a bit tardy because of all of . . . → Weiterlesen: Moth tasting in Napa

Ich fahre vielleicht zu viel

Die Wolken brachen heute Nachmittag in San Francisco auf und die Sonne begann zu scheinen. Das bevorstehende warme Wetter rief ein allzu vertrautes Gefühl hervor, eine, dass ich draußen Insekten sammeln und nicht drinnen sitzen sollte! Während ich diesen Frühling schon an einer Handvoll Orten war, I have a long season of collecting . . . → Weiterlesen: Ich fahre vielleicht zu viel

Aquamoth part 3

A continuation of the aquamoth series, this time with video from Science Friday! Ja, I have to link it because wordpress won’t embed… Dank Ted, figured it out!

I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. für…

This is something I’ve never seen before. Growing up I have always had someone give me some kitsch object with insects on them, even playing cards. Well even last year I got another insect themed tie. (I don’t have the whimsey of PZ Myers and his awesome tie.) Aber, they were all printed images of . . . → Weiterlesen: I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. für…
