A great read about EAB aimed at kids! I really enjoyed this chance to share some important information about a beautiful but destructive bug.

Wasps have a bad reputation in my household, but I have a new appreciation for them after learning some species could save trees (& they don't sting!). Thank you @LadyoftheLeps and Dr. Jian Duan @USDA_ARS for your insights! washingtonpost.com/kidspost/2022/…

This is a great breakdown for anyone confused about the difference between native, nonnative, pests, and invasive species! And has the bonus of beautiful animation!

Native species, non-native species, invasive species, pests....what’s the difference? Don’t worry, we break it down for you in this video. Happy National Invasive Species Awareness Week! #NISAW

What a neat observation! I love seeing examples of insects reusing things other animals have left behind.

The first US sighting of the spotted lanternfly was in 2014, and it was officially discovered in #Indiana this summer. @PurdueInsects and @PurdueHortLA explain how DNR and local professionals are combatting the invasive insects. @LadyoftheLeps ag.purdue.edu/stories/keepin…

The spotted lanternfly continues to spread, leaving sickly grapes, fruit trees and hardwoods in its wake. @LadyoftheLeps provides a fall update. Follow @reportINvasive for updates about all invasive species in Indiana. @PurdueExtEnt purduelandscapereport.org/article/spotte…

Not a lot of mountains here in IN but I did celebrate @mtholyoke #mountainday with ice cream and a bog walk where I saw ~8 great egrets, a bittern, and some muskrats!

Within 12h of offering the Polyphemus moth caterpillar a peach tree branch, it pupated. It will overwinter this way, protected by the leaves and silk cocoon. If you come across a mass of leaves, a twig and/or oval-shaped cocoon in leaf litter, do not destroy it.

Is this picture blurry? Yes. Am I still inordinately pleased with it? Also yes. I tried for 15 min to get a photo for the @TheLepSoc BioBlitz but it kept flitting away. One time it actually landed on my hand holding my camera. Mocking me. But I got the photo in the end!

The mystery of the bone is now partially solved! Now if I could only figure out what KIND of bone it is…

Dr. Elizabeth Barnes@LadyoftheLeps·13 Ağu

Sooooo a mystery bone showed up in my flower box. Any vertebrate out there who could tell me what kinda animal it belong to?

Dr. Elizabeth Barnes@LadyoftheLeps·16 Ağu

Just join the project on @inaturalist, photograph some caterpillars, butterflies, or moths during the week of Aug 15-22, and upload them to iNaturalist! Or help ID the Leps other people have found! inaturalist.org/projects/2021-…
