  • Note that this is described species. Beetles are really easy to preserve and are often super cool. There are likely more species in other orders, but they haven’t had as much work done on them. Hymenoptera, for example, with all of the parasitic wasps probably has more species but they can be so freaking small and difficult to work with.

    Sorry, I am like a wanna be entomologist who works with akshual entomologists and this is one of the things that triggers them













  • I just came here with the same/similar issue. I made a post yesterday but can’t find it anywhere except my, like, comments inbox (whatever it is called, the list of comments on my posts). I am using the Liftoff and Jerboa apps. My account is .world and the instance I posted in is .ml, maybe that has something to do with it? (I don’t actually understand any of this and it is a near miracle that I am here at all)







  • Excuse me, Mrs. Wasp, on a scale of 1-10 how much do you agree with the following statements?

    I put out traps baited with pheromone lures (mainly) and then go around collecting samples and checking to see if we caught what we were looking out for. Some of the samples go back to the lab and everything gets identified to make sure there is nothing new or to track how far things have moved. We are mainly looking for crop pests that are not yet known to the area.
