it is here!! this short film turned out so well--deserving for such an illustrious career.
Dr. John Morse was recently the subject of a short film "Caddisfly", directed by Olivia Lund Johnson. After a stint on the film festival circuit, it is now available for public viewing (account sign-up required): waterbear.com/watch/caddisfl…
It's a lovely story. Please enjoy!

New work by the @CaterinoLab used #metabarcoding to shed light on dark taxa in sky-island Appalachian leaf litter, assessing patterns of endemicity using large-scale, voucher-based barcoding - doi.org/10.1111/icad.12697

My latest publication is featured in Entomology Today 🙂

Amblyseius swirskii feeds on various insect and mite species, including many pests of vegetable crops. A new article in the Journal of #IPM explores the biology and uses for this versatile mite.

Here is another one :)
Live specimens looked like six-spotted thrips at first, except with heavier pigmentation of the spots (becoming more like 3 lines). but pronotal setae do not look nearly long enough. any idea?

I am coming across (and trying to learn!) some new thrips species. Thrips people, does this look like Heliothrips spp. or am I way off? @Thrips_iD @OhBuggers

Southeastern entomologists, be on the lookout: a newly introduced hornet in our neighborhood (found first in Savannah, GA).

A dangerous landing. This is a phorid fly trying to lay her eggs on the heads of these army ants. Her larvae are parasitic and will feed internally within the ant's head before popping it off and emerging.

🚨Citizen science opportunity.
Carolinians--Keep a look out for native muhlygrass (sweetgrass) and if it's infested with mealybug. If so, please report any sightings using the QR code in the article:

So true. Japanese beetle bags certainly give off the aesthetics that they are doing something good for your garden, but they’re really pulling in beetles from all over the neighborhood to your yard.

Japanese beetle trapping generally doesn't help your home garden.

As annoying as the Charleston mosquitoes are I am continually thankful I don't need to be concerned with contracting a debilitating illness. Shout out to public health efforts for keeping it that way!

and whenever I speak to someone who is surprised these mosquito-borne illnesses used to be much more common I always think of and point them to the old entertaining disney educational/propaganda videos on this: youtube.com/watch?v=y68F8YwL…
