Haha! Not only am I an entomologist, I specialize in the evolution of Phasmatodea. Must be a friends issue 😆

Bro can’t take a hint

Guess I’ll need to call in sick today.

This woman definitely has a man in her life. Nothing says “I’m taken” quite like the copious use of tape in repairs.

No one does Easter eggs quite like stick and leaf insects do

Not sure about the Easter Bunny, but the Easter Beetle is definitely real

Well that’s sucky news. I’ve used CIRPES to run phylogenetic/evolutionary analyses from grad school to present. Such an important computational resource for the evolutionary biology community. What a loss. 😢

A nice Macrolepiota I came across last fall.

Thank you @altmetric.bsky.social
There’s a lot of sciencing being shared on @bsky.app

I don’t care who you are, stick and leaf insects are just cool 😎

My son’s 4th grade Christmas concert. Can you name that tune?

Yeah, neither could I.

Nope. They are Paussus: The quintessential trojan horses of the insect world. Obligate myrmecophiles that fly under the ants’ radar, achieve royalty status in the ant colony, dupe the ants into feeding their young, all the while preying upon the ants and their brood. 🤯

Pottery class or phasmid eggs?
🤯 The only insect order with blatant species specific egg morphology across the order.
