Ying Luo

Hi! I'm Ying, and I'm currently doing my PhD based at ANIC and ANU. I'm studying a group of leaf mining micro-moths (Gracillariidae), and over the next few years I'll be investigating their host plant usage and diversity! More info at my website! yingyluo.wordpress.com (1/n)

@MarkKLWong Cool new description Mark! There's got to be heaps of subterranean ants to discover in Australia :)

Introducing 𝑳𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂 𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒕, a newly discovered ghostly and slender ant species with sharp jaws. Like the Dark Lord, 𝑳. 𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒕 ants thrive in the shadows. They live exclusively underground and are fearsome predators. zookeys.pensoft.net/article/114072/

@FishGuyKai Very exciting and well deserved! Here's to job security!

Hi everyone. Some exciting news. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve formally accepted my new appointment as Curator of Fishes at the Australian Museum in Sydney.

@hsauquet_rbgsyd @inaturalist @thomasmesaglio Thank you! :)

Fascinating talk by @Yiing on harnessing the power of @inaturalist to document the diversity of leaf mines in Australia! #Biosystematics2023 #citizenscience

Thanks to contributors for this episode on Nature's vibrators - @pbeasleyhall @nicrodemo Lisa Schonberg, Prof Link Olson, Dr Andy Reid, @Yiing pod.link/1606314974/epi…

@Amata_georgeii Amazing!!! Congrats!!!

We’re starting a conversation about diversity in #science #technology #engineering #mathematics. Read the #AusScience #DiversityinSTEM dialogue starter & contribute to Australia’s vision: bit.ly/3SImrJY We’d like to hear from all Australians with a connection to #STEM.

Vriko Yu launched a startup on the back of her Ph.D. studies in biological sciences. Now she’s the CEO of Archireef, a climate tech venture that’s working to restore fragile marine ecosystems by using 3D printing technology and terracotta. trib.al/fl5wZdG

Allow me to introduce you to the most ridiculous yet amazing thing you will see this week.

Spider Moth (Musotima (Ambia) instrumentalis, Musotiminae, Crambidae) Members of a few Musotimine genera have wing markings suggestive of spiders, presumably as an anti-predation strategy. flic.kr/p/2m94wCb #insect #China #Yunnan #entomology #Lepidoptera #itchydogimages

@ArthropodAbbey @Nike Wish it was available in Australia 🥲

sooo @Nike had an amazing men's shirt I couldn't resist. 10/10 on the quality of the arthropod illustrations and the shirt itself! #entofashion
