A curious video from the National Geographic's “Untamed Americas” miniseries on how Arctiidae moths produce low frequency clicks to muffle the sonar that bats use to guide flight and prey. Thus a bat gets mislead and a moth masterly dodges the attack. National Geographic Untamed Americas, Moth Jamming Bat Sonar

Even Godzilla the Great grounded his mighty arms before the face of our huge and fearless hero. The thing is that he had no such magic “eyed” wings, which could seriously scare not only birds but even people. That's the thing!

It is unlikely that the guys from Pensoft started this just like that, without guarantees for future profit. They're too clever at publishing. Surely the magazine will find its own author's audience, and surely there is some idea with a quick push through the impact. The checklist looks quite interesting zhrnal, but there is no impact, although age allows. Time will show...
In 1965, when James Nebel was young, he got a large collection of butterflies and moths to keep and own. Then it was called the Anderson Collection and reckoned as the second largest private butterfly collection in Washington. It comprised about 3000 specimens that Andrew Anderson had gathered throughout his life in Pateros, WA, a city with a today's population of 667 people. Nebel knew ...

This was as possible as to spot the well-done mount of an extinct dodo bird in the rubbish at a yard sale — barely ever. Tom Terzin, a developmental biologist from University of Alberta, Canada, never waited to discover a rarest well-preserved specimen of an extinct endemic Jamaican moth Urania sloanus of the Uraniidae family on a popular online auction eBay. Any hesitation was immediately ...
Researchers from the University of Queensland, Australia, found out that caterpillar hair can cause foal death and abortions in Australian mares. Dr Judy Cawdell-Smith and Professor Wayne Bryden, from the UQ's School of Animal Studies, discovered that pregnant mares contacted with hairy Oak Processionary (Thaumetopoea processionea) caterpillars tended to abort. “This is an unusual form of ...
I wonder if the Catalog is also wrong?It's not directories that make mistakes, but people. Perhaps I am also wrong now, but I proceed from the rules of Latin grammar and article 31 of the Code, which is even very close to the case of Spinola with an example of the formation of a specific name from the surname N.
