#MyTwitterAnniversary. In my first year, I sent 350 tweets, gained 200 followers, and spread my love of western Nearctic terrestrial arthropod Biodiversity. Thanks. Twitter translation - 👍🏼❤️🐝🐞🕷🦗🐜🐛❤️🇨🇦🏔🏝#BritishColumbia #yyj

@Bertonemyia @thekeithing Definitely Fucellia. Not sure of the species. I am working with some folks on that group now. Did you collect any?

@ROD_Entomology I only look for typos if I am not first author and I trust the person that is. Unless of course I am solely responsible for a particular section. As for reviewing, it all depends on the length of the paper.

#Coleoptera folks, especially #Buprestidae help me out. This beetle dress from turn of the century BC was made in Ireland possibly using material from India. Is there any way to determine the species??

#Diptera friends help me out! Does anyone have an idea of who may have drawn this? Date uncertain. Found in the #RoyalBCMuseum collections.

British Columbia is home to nearly 500 species of bees. The Okanagan alone has close to 400 species. Fascinating, right? Here's another interesting fact: around 70% of these bees nest in the ground.

@notsocrabbyabby @jpgillung @McArtLab I will be in Reno too! And also excited about Jessica’s symposium.

@jpgillung @McArtLab Hi Jessica! I will be at the fly conference in Reno this year and look forward to seeing you and attending your symposium :) I will be based in New South Wales but have travelled to Melbourne a bit so I want to be penciled in to say hello to Scott 😂😄

Future sabbatical is starting to feel just a little more real 😊 🐝

@BioInFocus Me too. Apparently I am not special. I am just Qeios detectable

Got a peer-review request from a "journal" that apparently doesn't have editors but rather assigns reviewers using AI. Checked the "paper" and it was pretty clearly a ChatGPT scrape job. Not sure why they didn't just let AI complete the cycle and provide a heart-emoji "review"

really excited to announce that i’ll be starting my PhD in Comparative Biology at @RGGSatAMNH with Dr. Cheryl Hayashi and Dr. Jessica Ware this fall. (ft. the most Naturally Bug Forward photos i could find, since i’ve been mostly a Lab Rat/Coding Gremlin for the past 4 years 🫢)
