@DanBilzerian May Lord protect you and all the noble souls that stand and speak against the injustice and the aggressors

I’m number 1 in the world. It’s rare in this life that you can be better than 8 billion people at anything. Thank you Israel for appointing me the number 1 antisemite in the world, you absolute cunts. 🏴

@omarsuleiman May Allah protect you and all the noble souls that speak against the injustice and agressors

I’m receiving a number of press inquiries to defend myself against the “antisemite” smear. I’m not doing any of those. Anyone who defends a state or its ideology that has enabled its soldiers to gleefully snipe dead thousands of Palestinian children or gang rape Palestinian prisoners to death ALL ON CAMERA should be on trial, not me or anyone who dares speak out. Those who defend this genocide and occupation are worse than the apologists of any monstrous regime or actor in history because these crimes have been filmed for the world to see, and are well documented by every human rights organization in the world. Call me what you want. My family and people’s blood is on your hands, and your tongues will one day testify against you.

Enter our wasp. As a specialised ovo-larval parasitoid, A. kashmirensis attacks the beetle from egg stage — and we document ovo-larval parasitoidism in this genus for the very first time. A promising biocontrol candidate. 🔬 (4/5)

🧵 New paper out! We described a new parasitoid wasp species from Kashmir — and it might help protect olive orchards in North Africa. Here's the story. 🐝🌿 (1/5)

Three Kashmiri scientists discover new species of Hoverfly risingkashmir.com/three-kashmiri…

Not really but here's what I have found mostly serving the card pointing process well. It's acid free and washable with water. There are other variants of this glue but I have not tested them. P.S. In case of minute hymenoperans, a quick glue does a better job.

Entomology tip# I have tested countless glues in the past 10 years to find an ideal 'insect mounting' glue. Did I find an ideal one?

Entomology tip# An entomological sweep net is the primary requirement for an amateur and veteran as well. All you need is some mosquito net, a steel wire and a selfie stick (a telescopic monopod for larger nets). You can change the net size as per your convenience.

@thiswordistaken @ZoologyMuseum Nice collection

Second #beetle adventure of the year 2024! A busman’s holiday to the beautiful historic & teaching collections @ZoologyMuseum Found my target taxa & also did some #Carabidae identification. 10/10 will return 🪲 Thanks to the great staff for making this collection accessible 🔬
