The anti-vax movement has been immune to appeals for community health since its inception.
That’s why the U.S. has laws around childhood vaccines for school entry. We must do everything we can to prevent further slippage.
We’re going to lose our measles elimination status just as Canada has.

Ashley Bui of UCR is giving a great talk on eucharitid phylogeny, but most importantly she tells us what the giant scutal spines are for: handles for grabbing by suspicious ants (their hosts)

In 2006, I presented an evening program at Capitol Reef National Park (USA), about history, prehistory and paleontology.
The "Keepers of Time" was a program concept that I presented versions of at the Grand Canyon NP, Joshua Tree NP & Canyonlands NP. It was easy to adapt to each park, 2006-2024.

The colors and patterns are aposematic warning that they are distasteful to birds. They are full, sometimes allowing for close photograph. Yes they also have fast and evasive flight.
