@hatchforsleep Welp this is making bedtime interesting…

On the beauty of assassin #flies, the importance of #CitizenScience, and the reality of juggling between a PhD and life's challenges. Congratulations to @ChotHerbert on publishing the first chapter of her dissertation in our journal! ucanr.edu/blogs/blogcore…

Passionate about Diptera? Have an artistic side? The ICDX design contest is for you! In preparation for the International Congress of Dipterology (dipterists.org/icdx/) we are looking for a few Diptera-related designs to be used for ICDX and Society T-shirts, mugs etc.

@socletana @NMNH_Entomology @TDikow @WillistonFund It was so great to see you!!!

@Dani_Michaels_ @survivorcbs I’m cheering for you! I’ve also wanted to be on it since I was a kid :)

We should all do what we can to help save insects for the sustainable future of our planet and humanity @Dr_Akito #ICE2022

@mayersteach Yes!

Hey @ChotHerbert am I looking at what appropriately seems to be called an assassin fly??

just had this baby demobat land on me reading in a park so now I’m running away. Also, what is this thing?

Hi friends! I'm super excited to announce that I wrote a kids book! EYES ON FLIES is buzzing with fun facts, jokes and photos of our pollinating buddies! Preorder now ow.ly/ljZV50JzLYC @MacmillanAus #InsectWeek #PollinatorWeek

@Dani_Michaels_ It’s George’s favorite series!! Of the ones I’ve read, they are fantastic!

Ever seen a robber fly suck the insides of a predated fly so hard the flies head collapses? Neither had I till today... I'm glad we are not on the menu... What a way to go... @flygirlNHM you seen this happen before?

It's the best day of the year again, #WorldRobberflyDay!!! Thank you so much, Keely Davies for your incredible illustration of a new species of Arizona Saropogon I'm helping to describe!!! Hope to see it in print soon :)
