Got to take some students to a community garden last week to connect with a community member who has been helping us build up our colony of Dione vanillae butterflies. We need lots of eggs for projects. We have been successful in getting those numbers up. 75+ eggs so far! #entomology #lepidoptera

Appreciation post! I remember making Pinterest boards of people out in nature catching bugs and dreaming of doing it myself. I can’t wait to find a great program and get back to school. Reading, writing, finding, exploring, learning. This is what sets my heart on fire❤️‍🔥🐜 #entomology

Grateful for my job because I get to take cool photos of bugs all day. Then when the day is over, I can stay longer to take photos of bugs in my own collection! The beautiful diversity of Southern California. #coleoptera #raphidioptera #hymenoptera

Photos from the last field trip of the semester. Loved this class and made such great pals! Found some awesome rove beetles on the opossum carcass we left out #entomology
