Genius of the Press X

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. Bine, 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: 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’ Întâlnirea societății. 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 . . . → Citeste mai mult: On the road again

Genius a presei, 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. Da, you read it here first, a positive article about entomology collections.

Moth tasting in Napa

It was a beautiful day today in the bay area, so I headed up to Napa and the Pope Valley. Căutam un teritoriu nou pentru o molie mică de flori, Heliolonche celeris, care se pare că așteaptă să apară vreme frumoasă mai învecinată. This season has been a bit tardy because of all of . . . → Citeste mai mult: Moth tasting in Napa

S-ar putea să conduc prea mult

Norii s-au spart în această după-amiază în San Francisco și soarele a început să strălucească. Vremea caldă care a venit a indus un sentiment prea familiar, una pe care ar trebui să fiu afară să adun insecte și să nu stau în casă! În timp ce am fost deja în câteva locuri în această primăvară, I have a long season of collecting . . . → Citeste mai mult: S-ar putea să conduc prea mult

Îți dau meu Ken Griffey Jr. pentru…

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.)
