Schinia villosa

 

This Monday’s moth is a duo of Schinia villosa (Noctuidae) ilsisi, ką aš esu darant prielaidą, yra jų šeimininkė augalų (Erigeron sp.). Aš išpirko šį kadrą aplink 9,000 kojos ant Kaibab plynaukštės Šiaurės Arizonos praėjusį mėnesį. A fire must have burned the area a few years ago . . . → Skaityti daugiau: Pirmadienis Drugelis
