🪰 Flies are often overlooked pollinators compared to bees. 🦟🌸 Yet, their flower interactions remain a mystery. Our research embarked on a journey to uncover their hidden world (a thread). #Pollinators #AcademicChatter #BeyondBees @E3BColumbia pollinationecology.org/index.php/jpe/…

Happy #PiDay2024

Celebrating #BringYourMotherToWorkDay with an extra dose of love and inspiration (and help from folks @AMNH who helped get her cleared!). From grading insect collections to lunch in the insectarium - here’s to the woman that shaped me and real MVP!

Please share! #Funding opp! We offer $6000 grants to do #research with #conservation application at @BRFConsortium. Send us your proposals: blackrockforest.org/david-redden-c… Deadline: January 29.

4/4 Finally, yet another plug for the highly awarded @hellbenderfilm from @WildLensInc and @AnnieRothNews, which features @KaunertMatthew's #snototter research in Pennsylvania hellbentfilm.com

International Thanksgiving w/ 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 🇷🇴 🇦🇱 🇲🇰 🇳🇱 representatives! We are so thankful for our friends and @E3BColumbia community!

@E3BColumbia students explore a sustainable future w/ @Brooklynbugs17! 🌍🦗 Eating insects is an eco-friendly choice. Low environmental impact, high nutritional value... & they taste delicious! Crunching our way to a greener planet! 🌱👩‍🌾 #EdibleInsects #SustainableEating

Bon appetit! #entomophagy

@Bertonemyia @FloateKevin @flygirlNHM That fits the bill! TY!

Has a thickened hind femora (Phoridae?) but wing not right. @flygirlNHM #Diptera

Check this 1940s relic! A berlese funnel made from an old pesticide can welded onto lead sheet metal. Thanks, @amnh for making our #entomology class also a history lesson!

Rain can't dampen the spirits of true entomologists! 🌧️🐜🪲 Collecting aquatic insects in the downpour - dedication in every drop! 💪🔍 @E3BColumbia

Happy #FlyFriday! Well, not so happy for this little fly, which has succumbed to a pathogenic fungus. Well worth reading up on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entomopht…

Does anyone know if you can put pictures or figures in your personal statement for the @NSF GRFP?

@AltrimAM @E3BColumbia @ruthdefries AKA what @ruthdefries did on her sabbatical? Tinkering often leads to great research!

Ohhh look at the Anisopodids getting it on… The male is making all the right moves for the lady- she picked an amorous dude
