This is where I'm supposed to fit in a box right? Boxes of choice: beetles, twin-dadding, Christian, evolutionary biology, disc golf, minecraft, climate change?

Managed to snap a few more #Invertefest shots, favorite is definitely this goldenrod leaf mining beetle. #coleoptera #chrysomelidae

My first #Invertefest shot: nice little hover fly cooled down too much to fly away. Probably Allograpta but not sure. iNat Observation here:

As I deal with twins sick with RSV, this reflection, shared with me by my dad, meant a lot to me. I hope it helps any of you dealing with sick children over the holidays. #RSV

Finally got a chance to go out for #invertefest - not much out even on a warm Tennessee day but was able to find one adult beetle and some stunning translucent fly larvae. Collembola abounded under bark.

I guess I'm on this place now too?

Have a monotomid.
