Hi Anthony, I just have a quick question!

I'm writing a paper about the discovery of a failed biological invasion by a leaf beetle, based on a specimen from a historical museum!

Do you know of any similar cases? 💭

Esto de normalizar el apoliticismo, y por tanto la inacción, se les está yendo de madre a los centristas.

Genus fact sheets, guidance during identification sessions and quizzes, as well as fieldwork! 🧩 All in the same week!

It's time to get to know the bee-diversity hotspot that is the Iberian Peninsula better!

Detail of one of the entomological boxes with pinned and labelled bee specimens brought to practice ID. Borrowed by FLOWer Lab (Univ. of Coimbra). A live male Panurgus in a plastic tube. Collected from the CISE pollinator garden. Eight bee specimens were mounted on a foam plate and left to dry with pins. All specimens were collected in accordance with standard practices, identified and labelled, and will be integrated into several NH collections. Disclaimer: I collected the specimens for training purposes during the course. A pinned bee specimen in my hand. I don't remember the ID. It's cuticle shows metallic reflections –maybe a tiny male Seladonia? Below the specimen is a collection label. This specimen belonged to the aforementioned FLOWer Lab.
