exciting insect digitization project to start soon at Smithsonian natural history museum - 200,000 pinned insect pollinators will be photographed on conveyor system developed by Picturae (picturae.com/services/ent...) - their team is looking for operators - see www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=5...

"New species" often get a lot of hype, but there's a difference between generating names and describing species. New names can actually be bad news for science! Here's a great overview of the "taxonomic vandal" problem by @tetzoo.bsky.social

New #gall #wasp paper from our lab! We review the genera of Phanacidini herb gall wasps, present the first record from China, and identify a new tribal diagnostic character! Now onto revising the species and genera… every synonymized genus needs to be resurrected!
