My used book run today ended up being very @TheRestHistory themed. Excited for my first @dcsandbrook book!

Check out my interview on @Arthro_Podshow! We had a great talk about forensic entomology and lots of other topics. open.spotify.com/episode/0YBTC2… @PurdueInsects @bugmanjon @mskvarla36 @JodyBugsMeUNL

@sur_emily @Arthro_Podshow @JodyBugsMeUNL We've added this idea to our upcoming list of shows! I hope that we'll be able to help you.

@Arthro_Podshow @JodyBugsMeUNL @bugmanjon Aspiring entomologist here...would you guys be willing to do a show about colleges with the best entomology depts? Currently leaning towards KSU, University of Nebraska, or University of Florida.

Check out our latest episode starring @JodyBugsMeUNL @bugmanjon and the Asian longhorned tick. This invasive species has caused quite a stir in the US and has recently been causing more issues by vectoring theileria. Tune in to find out more! arthro-pod.blogspot.com/2022/08/arthro…

Louisville, Covington, Florence, could all be hotspots. Straggler cicadas are an interesting phenomenon, cicada researchers at @MountStJosephU are looking for data on them. If you find cicadas in 2022 take a pic for @CicadaSafari or upload to @inaturalist so we can map them out!

Hey Kentucky! If you saw any #BroodX cicadas last year, you can check right now for "straggler" cicadas. These cuties "lost count" so to speak, and are coming out of the ground right now! #cicadas

Over last weekend I was able to get this video of a paper wasp gathering wood shavings to pulp for the nest she's gonna build! Look at her go! #backyardbugs #wasps

Getting lots of annual bluegrass weevils #ABW here in KY. In Paris, KY and got 137 adults in soap flushes in 4 sqft. Still in low hundreds for growing degree days and forsythia just hit full gold. Get out and check now rather than wait for the half gold and half green bushes!

Want to know how the spongy moth got its name? We interviewed Dr. Anh Tran & @joshualancette about the Better Common Names Project. Please take a listen & check out our show notes: arthro-pod.blogspot.com/2022/03/arthro… #spongymoth @EntsocAmerica @bugmanjon @mskvarla36 @JodyBugsMeUNL
