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...

By Chris Grinter, on March 18th, 2013% For this Monday’s Moth I thought I’d post a brief tutorial on how to accurately determine the sex of moths. While there are lots of examples of sexually dimorphic species (where males and females are obviously different), the vast majority of moths are not. Saturniidae make our lives easy by having strikingly different antennae between . → Read More: How to Sex a Moth Like this: Like Loading... By Chris Grinter, on February 4th, 2013% How about another unidentified Gelechiidae from the same location as the previous specimen (nr. Prescott Arizona). I’m taking a stab at this moth being in the genus Chionodes – and it is superficially similar to the species C. continuella.

By Chris Grinter, on January 7th, 2013% This moth is a good example of what a lot of my moths are at the moment – unidentified!

Chris Grinter, 22. srpnja, 2013 Ja sam uzbuđen što će i ove godine sudjeluje kao instruktor za Lepidoptera tečaj na jugozapadnom Research Station blizini Portal, Arizona. Ja ću biti jedan od osam ostalih instruktora koji će pružiti ruke i intenzivne 9-dana tečaj o prikupljanju, očuvanje i identifikacija Lepidoptera.

Uzmite trenutak da ide provjeriti Stranice Leptiri tečaj, i pregledavati Razgovori iz proteklih godina. Ja ću vas potaknuti da prisustvuju i nadam se da se vidimo u nekoliko tjedana! Sviđa ti se?
