the new developments on inat inspired me to make a diagnostic thread for every insect order because there's only like 30something of them. going to try and avoid exceptions and extremely technical characteristics when possible. 🧵

Created reference pollen slides from the Stengl Lost Pines Field Station herbarium this weekend for two student mentees' capstone research projects. These references will be used to identify pollen on historic and recent SLP moth specimens, helping us understand moth-plant interactions over time.
