Arden Lambert

As my first official tweet I wanted to introduce myself. I am a Master’s student at the University of Florida studying the management of SWD in blueberry crops. I’m looking at different IPM tactics, as well as, biocontrol using EPNs. ((I also really love bug art and photography))

Please note that the two-spot cotton leafhopper, Amrasca biguttula, has been seen infesting eggplants at UF's Plant Science Research and Education Unit in Citra, Florida. This pest can cause significant damage to cotton, okra, roselle, sunflowers, and eggplant.

@TheAlexisZap Thank you! Love you 💗

@moniquejrivera Thank you! 😊

@arden_lambert congratulations! a great lab to join!

I am so excited to announce my admission to the University of Florida PhD program under Dr. Oscar Liburd in the Small Fruit and Vegetable IPM lab. I would also like to thank the Entomology and Nematology department for awarding me a matching teaching assistantship!

@alex_maragh Thanks Alex! :)

@arden_lambert Congratulations Arden :)))

I found this little guy one of my monitoring traps 🐸🫐

We would love to welcome Dr. Jasleen Kaur to the liburd lab as our new postdoctoral associate! Her research will focus on developing sustainable solutions for invasive species management, particularly chilli thrips in blueberry orchards. 🫐 Welcome Dr. Kaur!

Congratulations to our lovely Stella Ruber for winning first place in the MS poster competition at this year’s SEB meeting! 🥳🎉

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to present my undergraduate thesis research at ESA. Grateful to my advisor, @AmandaSubalusky, for the support and guidance. Excited to have connected with so many fellow stable isotope researchers.

Our lab is hosting the Science Up Close: Incredible Insects exhibit at the @FloridaMuseum this week! 🐞Please visit our booths to learn more about our research and see some cool bugs! 🐛

It's just another #MantisMonday and our Observation of the Day is this Toxodera integrifolia #mantis, seen in #Malaysia by cclborneo! More details at: inaturalist.org/observations/2… #entomology #nature #biodiversity

Our lab (USDA ARS SEL) 🪲🦋🐞🐝🪳🪰🐜🕷️is hiring a Biological Science Technician – usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDet… 👏👏👏

We’re looking for interested undergraduates for a paid summer internship! Interns will gain hands on experience in blueberry IPM research. See flyer for details, please share! 🫐

We would like to give a big congratulations to @arden_lambert for graduating this semester with her MS 🎉👏

I’m excited to be graduating with my M.S. this week. Now for the next part of my journey! 🦟🪲

Took some time to practice drawing again. Here’s my little scarab beetle 🪲

I got to meet my mentor in person today at #EntSoc23 #WomenInSTEM 👯‍♀️

Presented part of my thesis work this morning at #EntSoc23. So exciting that this is the last talk during my master’s program. I’m going to miss talking about SWD and their serrated ovipositor 😄
