By Chris Grinter, on October 21st, 2013% This beautiful animal is a moth I reared from Quercus palmeri down in the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona. It’s in the family Gracillariidae and most likely in the genus Acrocercops – according to Dave Wagner it may represent a new species, but that’s not an uncommon thing with small moths. It was fairly abundant, so . → Read More: Monday Moth Like this: Like Loading...

To the best of my knowledge it’s a species of Mompha (Coleophoridae), probably claudiella,but I don’t have a positive ID on this bug yet.

Buba na zanimljivoj vrijeme Chris Grinter, 3. veljače, 2014 Kao što sam bio fotografiranje i databsing na Cicindelinae iz zbirki Denver muzej prirode & Znanost sam došao preko ovog uzorka prikupljenog na 10. lipnja 1921, Chicago Illinois. Buba je Cicindela hirticollis hirticollis (mogao biti hrabro označena ssp rhodensis kao i oni lako intergrade zajedno njihovih granica) i jedan je od najvažnijih razgranate vrsta tigar buba imamo u SAD-u – tako da to nije ono što je uhvaćen moj oko. Kao izvorni Chicagoan i bivšeg zaposlenika muzeja Field, 1921 Zvučalo je kao poznata dana. Brzo sam u Google i naći razlog zašto. Ljeto 1921 bio velika otvaranje novih terena Muzeja (i još uvijek aktualni) mjesto u Grant Parku. Ova poznata fotografija Charlesa Carpenter ilustrira koliko je popularan Muzej je bio na dan otvaranja, Svibanj 2, 1921. Kolekcionar uzorka je nepoznat i samo ostavio natpis u vintage sitnim rukopisom. Imamo uzorak ovdje u Denveru, tako kolektora vjerojatno nije materinji Chicagoan (ti primjerci bi završio u muzeju Field ili čak Smithsonian). Sumnjam, ili barem bih zamisliti, da je naš buba je prikupljen amaterski entomolog, dok je bio u Chicagu na otvorenju novog muzeja. Denver Museum of Nature & Znanost (u vrijeme Denver Prirodoslovni muzej) Tek 21 godina u ovom trenutku u povijesti, ali ipak jednako popularan ako ne i manja verzija bogate Field Museumu. Naše kolekcije drže većinu Edward B. Andrews Rocky Mountain skup od 1930, pa možda sam mahnito se nagađati da je to bio jedan od njegovih ranijih uzoraka prikupljenih na hodočašće istoku. povezan
