Nine years ago (according to the Post-it on the cabinet) I typed the labels for these historic @morethanadodo Elateridae, and this week I put them on the specimens! Clearly got distracted 😄 Think they look much better now though, so worth the wait!

The photographic parts of my day @morethanadodo Tour set up, membracids down the microscope, and live insects fed. The emails, label making and cataloguing didn't make the cut 😅
