Strepsiptera, male. From Tennessee, USA.

She has 4 older feline brothers and 2 older canine sisters...plus my kids and all...

As someone that does teach the scientific method, I'd love someone to ask for him to give a brief overview of the method...just so everyone listening understands. I don't think that's a big ask.

Hoping for the best birthday present ever this weekend 😄

Sounds like you're raising one of my boys. Well done! 😂

Order Strepsiptera, male. I found this little guy in a malaise trap sample last year. First one I'd ever collected and found. It has two pairs of wings, but the front pair are highly modified/reduced to that little thing in front of the wing on the left side.

Hope you had a wonderful birthday! I saw it on that other site, but didn't connect the neurons when I was here.

My kid was in the local high school production, and if it's half as good as they did, you're in for a good show!

Nothing I hate more than an uninspiring aedeagus.

Still have my T-shirt from the one I attended back in the mid aughts.

I'd say a new one. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/263857/...

Described 30+ species of parasitic wasps, produced an updated phylogeny for them, trained as a diplopod systematist producing the first ordinal level phylogeny of familial relationships. I've impacted students for the past 17 years teaching; my 1st research student has been on shark week 5/6 times.

Can you make room for the Crimson King as well, please?
