Oeste de Arizona

Hai uns meses estiven recollendo no oeste de Arizona e non puiden seguir con ningunha imaxe ou actualizacións desa viaxe.. Ben, foi un éxito e mereceu a pena os quilómetros para chegar! I was searching for a Crambid moth in the mountains of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge (special thanks . . . → Ler máis: Oeste de Arizona

Na estrada de novo

Over the next week and a half I’ll be driving up to Washington state for the annual Lepidopterists’ Reunión da Sociedade. Está situado na cidade turística-trap de Leavenworth, que é un “Temático de Baviera” diorama de postal e entupir tendas. Aínda que eu nunca podo entender o chamamento das cidades temáticos, it is something . . . → Ler máis: Na estrada de novo

Xenio da Prensa, 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. Si, you read it here first, a positive article about entomology collections.

Degustación de polillas en Napa

It was a beautiful day today in the bay area, so I headed up to Napa and the Pope Valley.

This season has been a bit tardy because of all of . . . → Ler máis: Degustación de polillas en Napa

I may drive too much

The clouds broke this afternoon in San Francisco and the sun began to shine. The upcoming warm weather induced an all too familiar feeling, one that I should be out collecting insects and not sitting indoors! While I have already been to a handful of places this spring, I have a long season of collecting . . . → Ler máis: I may drive too much

Parte de Aquamoth 3

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

I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. para…

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.) Pero, they were all printed images of . . . → Ler máis: I’ll give you my Ken Griffey Jr. para…
