The beetle is Cicindela hirticollis hirticollis (could be a boldly marked ssp rhodensis as they readily intergrade along their boundaries) and is one of the most wide-spread species of tiger beetle we have in the US – so this isn’t what caught my eye. As a native Chicagoan and former Field Museum employee, 1921 sounded like a familiar date. I quickly Googled and found the reason why. Summer 1921 was the grand opening of the Field Museum’s new (and still current) location in Grant Park. This famous photograph by Charles Carpenter illustrates just how popular the museum was on opening day, Maй 2, 1921. The collector of the specimen is unknown and only left a label in their vintage tiny handwriting. We have the specimen here in Denver so the collector was likely not a native Chicagoan (those specimens would have ended up at the Field Museum or even the Smithsonian). I suspect, or at least like to imagine, that our beetle was collected by an amateur Entomologist while he was in Chicago for the opening of the new museum. The Denver Museum of Nature & Hayka (at the time Denver Museum of Natural History) was only 21 years old at this point in history, but nevertheless an equally popular if not smaller version of the opulent Field Museum. Our collections hold the majority of Edward B. Andrews Rocky Mountain collection from the 1930’s, so perhaps I can wildly speculate that this was one of his earlier specimens collected on a pilgrimage east. cBязaHHыe c

Ciaróg ó am spéisiúil Ag Chris Grinter, ar 3 Feabhra, 2014 Mar a bhí mé ag photographing agus databsing an Cicindelinae ó bhailiúcháin an Mhúsaeim Denver an Nádúir & Eolaíocht tháinig mé trasna seo eiseamal a bailíodh ar an 10 Meitheamh 1921, Chicago Illinois. Is é an ciaróg Cicindela hirticollis hirticollis (D'fhéadfadh a bheith ina SSP boldly marcáilte rhodensis mar a intergrade siad go héasca chomh maith a dteorainneacha) agus tá sé ar cheann de na speicis is forleathan ciaróg Tiger atá againn sna Stáit Aontaithe – mar sin nach bhfuil sé seo cad a ghabh mo shúil. Mar Chicagoan dúchais agus iarfhostaí Músaem Field, 1921 sounded cosúil le dáta an eolas. Googled mé go tapa agus fuair sé an fáth. Samhraidh 1921 bhí an oscailt mhór nua an Músaem Field ar (agus fós reatha) suíomh i bPáirc Deontais. Léiríonn an grianghraf cáiliúil Charles Carpenter ach conas tóir a bhí ar an músaem ar lá oscailte, Bealtaine 2, 1921. Is é an bailitheoir an eiseamail anaithnid agus gan ach d'fhág lipéad ina pheannaireacht beag bídeach Gheobhaidh dream eile. Tá an t-eiseamal anseo i Denver mar sin bhí an bailitheoir dócha nach Chicagoan ó dhúchas (Bheadh sin heiseamail tar éis dar críoch suas ag an Músaem Field nó fiú an Smithsonian). Doigh liom, nó ar a laghad buíochas a shamhlú, gur bailíodh ar ár ciaróg ag feithideolaí amaitéarach nuair a bhí sé i Chicago le haghaidh oscailt an músaem nua. An Músaem Denver an Nádúir & Eolaíocht (ag an am Denver Músaem Stair an Dúlra) raibh ach 21 bliain d'aois ag an bpointe seo i stair, ach mar sin féin ar tóir chomh mura leagan nach lú an Músaem Field opulent. Shealbhú ár mbailiúcháin an chuid is mó de Edward B. Andrews Rocky Mountain bailiúchán ó 1930, mar sin b'fhéidir gur féidir liom a speculate wildly go raibh sé seo ar cheann de chuid eiseamail níos luaithe a bailíodh ar oilithreacht thoir. Related
