Arizona Bugs, Part 3

Posted on October 9, 2013 by Charley Eiseman

Here’s my final (for now) installment of photos from last November’s trip to Arizona. The first several were taken in the vicinity of Tucson. At the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, I saw this Fatal Metalmark (Calephelis nemesis), the only metalmark (Riodinidae) … Continue reading →

Arizona Bugs, part 2

Posted on September 27, 2013 by Charley Eiseman

If I had to pick a favorite spot out of all the places we explored on our two-and-a-half-month road trip last fall, it would be Madera Canyon in southern Arizona. The scenery there isn’t particularly eye-catching; in fact, I didn’t … Continue reading →

Ant-attracting Galls

Posted on January 29, 2012 by Charley Eiseman

A few months ago I mentioned that Hurricane Irene had brought down some interesting galls from the treetops, and I’m just now getting to that point in my photo sorting. There was one spot in the woods where the freshly … Continue reading →
