We are biased but they put on a great symposium!!! Go check this one out #entsoc24

Alternating between staring into space and doing 1000 tiny tasks on a to-do list. And eating everything in sight.

Have fun in Phoenix @EntsocAmerica ! We will miss you all this year but catch you next go round.

Ok go get this knitting pattern when it drops. Cause it hops.

Fantastic thread on the realities of conservation and monitoring of aquatic species (hellbenders!) after flooding.

One year ago, this 1/4 acre was just an area of mown grass. I then took the topsoil off, formed some banks, made a wildlife pond, sowed the area with wildflowers & planted many native trees & shrubs. When I visited this week to carry out the first hay cut, it’s apparent that the area is now a thriving habitat for so much wildlife. Field voles & shrews inhabit the meadow, which Kestrels & Barn owls now use for hunting. Marsh Harriers have also been seen hunting along the margins. A pair of Hares have moved into the longer grassy areas that are left uncut around the banks & margins. Stock Doves are regular visitors to the pond for bathing/drinking, as have been Grey Wagtails, Sparrowhawks & Oystercatchers to name but a few. The pond has been colonised by many species of insects, including a myriad of Dragonflies, Great diving beetles & Water-boatmen. The above is in addition to the many species of Bees, Butterflies & Moths that are now benefitting from the already florally diverse wildflower meadow, and this is only very early stages. Never let it be said that nature isn’t remarkably resilient, opportunistic & absolutely CAN bounce back, given a chance. I will continue to manage this site (which takes very little maintenance) over the coming years and will report all my new findings. If a single 1/4 acre plot can provide this much habitat for wildlife within the space of a year, imagine how much wildlife could benefit as a result of all of us doing our bit for nature in our own gardens/green spaces. Best bit is, you don’t even need 1/4 of an acre to achieve this 👍

Job posting!! The people @UNLEntomology are lovely. We have worked with quite of few of the faculty and staff. Apply! You got this.

Wait. What. I have my plane reading for tomorrow.

honestly same

I’m not into video games but I can get behind this. Only thing that could make it better is grasshoppers that hop-fly out as the horse gallops in the grasses.

The murky liquid and the poorly labeled jars are giving me a FRIGHT. (And lovely memories from grad school) love this idea!!

Reminder that the next #EntSocECP webinar is on Monday! Tune in to learn tips and tricks for expanding your professional network. Hope to see you there!

Congrats! This is so cool. Love this wearable art. Go see it at EntSoc24!

brb zooming in on #ICE2024Kyoto posters to keep up with cool current research! Congrats on the award!

For those at #ICE2024 - there wasn't a place to post job openings at the venue, so posting here! We're hiring a researcher to conduct DNA extractions and expand our lab's CRISPR Cas protocol for a USDA funded project on moth pest identification. Please share! @FloridaMuseum

Love seeing all the #ICE2024Kyoto posts- this one is incredible!!

Folks at #ICE2024Kyoto - @cmtribull is EXPERT at putting together great symposia. Check out the outreach/manga/comics one on Tuesday!

It is hard work to keep something like this afloat and I’m always amazed by @SarahMackAttack and her drive, energy and output. She inspires us. Get a frog facts advent calendar and help support @SkypeScientist !
