Organizations recently legally challenged the California Department of Pesticide Regulation to close a loophole allowing for unregulated sale and use of seeds pretreated with pesticides. Each pesticide-coated seed is toxic enough to kill thousands of bees. xerces.org/blog/will-cali…

Winter is perfect time of year to read, study, and plan for the spring and summer seasons. Our pesticide team put together a reading list for all ages, including topics like alterative pest control, invertebrate conservation, and the natural world. xerces.org/blog/cozy-up-w…

Thanks for highlighting out research! @OSUAgSci

@10secrule is one of the best scientists I know — help him and his team do some important work conserving a rare lady beetle!

Yellowjackets often snack on human food, which creates conflict. Despite their stinging reputation, these wasps are still important! Adults control pests by hunting insects like flies and caterpillars for their young to eat. Learn how to coexist in peace: xerces.org/blog/wasp-world

It’s still wasp season! Paper wasps are commonly seen building their open, papery nests in residential areas. They are not aggressive but will sting if necessary. Adult wasps eat nectar & pollen from flowers, while hunting caterpillars to feed their young. xerces.org/blog/wasp-world

Parasitoid wasps are generally tiny and vary in shape. They control pest insects and can’t sting you! Females lay eggs on/inside their arthropod hosts, where they hatch and slowly feed on the host. There are hundreds of thousands of species! Read more: xerces.org/blog/wasp-world

So excited to see this in print!! Thanks to everyone in the Garden Ecology lab for their amazing contributions.

@emtomology Idk, the middle one is pretty profound!

Tomorrow! Join our webinar with Xerces' Aaron Anderson on managing pests while protecting pollinators. July 21, 10AM Pacific/ 1PM Eastern. Register at xerces.org/events

What does research tell us about the impact of agricultural pesticides on nearby pollinator habitat? Xerces' Emily May gives us the run down. xerces.org/blog/part-1-ho…

Really fun celebration/bookend to a 5.5 year journey. So thankful to @MauraPaxton for everything, @GailLangellotto for being the best advisor, and the rest of my family and friends! @OSUAgSci @OregonState

We know insecticide sprays used for #mosquito control can harm a wide variety of other insects. Fortunately, there’s a more effective way to reduce itchy bites this summer. Learn how to eliminate mosquito breeding areas at xerces.org/blog/mosquito-…

@_JohnMola Both?

Does correcting people about bumble bee identification on Reddit count as "outreach" or procrastination? 🤔

@AndrewBarnas @bradleyallf this is up your alley!

@bradleyallf Haha yes, all those ecology “industry” jobs 😂
