@anh_bugs @ArthropodAbbey I actually have no idea 🤣🤣🤣

@Ms_Mars @ArthropodAbbey What!? He is a real person and was at ESA!?!?!? 😭

Shout out to the #Entsoc23 app for letting me hang out with Corteva guy until the very end - I wonder if I leave the app installed and don't update, will he stay until next year? 🤔

@anh_bugs @ArthropodAbbey I left without getting his autograph 🥺

@ArthropodAbbey I want to know where the Corteva man went!

Forgot to make 2023 ESA posts, but this one is pretty great @Evantomology 🪲 @ArthropodAbbey 🦋

Ants love the stuff 🐜

@NovoAnts Thank you! Yep!! Lots of ants out in the desert here

@Ms_Mars Great photos! Love to see some more 👌🏼

It’s exciting to be working with harvester ants! I always wanted to do a project on them ✨photos by me

@DrStrangeAnt Me too! I’ve never seen this particular one before. She was beautiful. Also, up at 6100 ft!

@Ms_Mars I love mutillids 🥰

Cool bugs from hiking and scrambling in the Organ Mountains last Sunday ⛰️. The mutillid was my favorite!

@ant__frank 😍

Perhaps the longest ant neck 🤔?Aphaenogaster dromedaria, seen in Madang province 🇵🇬

@PunkEntomology 🤣😭🤣😭🤣

Giving my new class examples of extra credit opportunities. Last year I had them make memes, and some of them were amazing.

Interested learning more about fire ants and fire ant decapitating flies 🔥🐜🪰?! Read the published manuscript from my colleagues and I: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@DrStrangeAnt Awww

Of course there would be a Pokemon Go event where Galarian Ponyta spawns in the wild while I am quarantining with Covid 🥺

Last night - 1st wild vinegaroon I've seen in NM! I ❤️ them

@Mikeropod Yeah. This particular species - about a month or so

@Ms_Mars How long do they live as adults? Cerambycidae I'd assume?

Someone sent this cottonwood borer (Plectrodera scalator) to the Plant Diagnostic Clinic for an ID. He’s been my lil buddy for the last 2 weeks 😆

@Mikeropod Oh he will be… eventually

@Ms_Mars ...of getting pinned!

@Evantomology @czbugsart LOVE this
