Gearing up for one of our bigger research projects this upcoming spring! Can’t wait to start this one with help from @ameeds11 @InsectEvoLab and a few others🪲🐜#wildlifeforensics

Did I have my lab (four 20 year olds) complete the not so junior ranger packet & pledge with me? You know it 😅 @ameeds11 @BcromerIII #orpi #fewl

I feel like I did something right when my students who have graduated come back to help out with research for fun.

So proud of the lab! Surveys and baseline information are KEY to utilizing insects in casework.

Best thing about #forensicentomology - you can apply it anywhere and traps don’t need to be expensive! #blowflies #fleshflies

Hey- you’re not who I was expecting. How many #parasitoidwasps can fit into one #fleshflypupa ? Any guesses?

We're about one month out from our summer decomposition project! Can't wait to see insect succession at a dry 105°F 🌞 We were already sweating in April. Thanks @The_AAFS for the support!

If you teach a #forensicentomology course, check out our key to forensically relevant beetle families that just came out! @carpophilus 🙂

Big thank you to @FliesFacility and @JACammack for teaching us (@TessaJung1 ) about #BSF rearing and maintenance. Love the possibility of reducing #foodwaste and increasing #sustainable practices.

Did we spend 45 minutes yesterday breaking cow dung into pieces? Yes we did. Worth it? 💯 How's your week going?😅 #dungbeetles #entomology #collectingtrip

Does it get any easier watching your students graduate? I'm proud and excited for them, but I'm really sad at the same time. The research student who has been with me the longest (since I joined ASU) graduated today. (Them =maggots 😅) #happyandsad

Interested in how #decomposition occurs in the desert? That's exactly what we're investigating, and those predictable insect succession patterns are looking a bit less predictable. #forensicentomology research 💜 I've got an amazing team of undergraduates here at @ASUNewCollege
