Chris Grinter, on March 15th, 2012% Back from hiatus and back to the Genius of the Press insect-news-failure series! Fresh off the presses from last year, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in the UK was shut down for a massive infestation of clothes moths. The picture shown here from “The Nation” story is a far cry from a . . . → Lasīt vairāk: Ģēnijs Preses XXII
Chris Grinter, gada 22. novembris, 2011% Fellow tīkls blogger Deivids Shiffman ir gala apļi $10,000 stipendija izaicinājums.

Chris Grinter, on September 13th, 2011% This is a pretty epic fail. I guess the “young adult” publishing guidelines are less strict with “facts”.
Thanks to Richard Lee Brown for first posting this on Facebook.
Chris Grinter, 19. augustā, 2011% Tas GOP ir mazāk izaicinājumu un vairāk vienkāršu Roundup niecīgu akciju fotogrāfijas. Alex Wild un citi jau sen norādīja masveida trūkumus daudzu akciju foto vietnēs – bet šeit ir īss un sāpīga lep Roundup, izmantojot Google.

Chris Grinter, on August 15th, 2011% ANSWER: This wasn’t easy – but this large and beautiful moth was from Australia and is in the family Xyloryctidae (Philarista sp.). 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.

Chris Grinter, gada 22. martā, 2011% Usually I come across horrible entomology articles regularly enough that I save a backlog for future series. This hasn’t been the case over the last few weeks, I haven’t come across the normal array of terrible media crud.
