Steven Hammer, one of our regular collection users, co-developed a new #insect pinning block, with staff and volunteers from the museum.
It’s 3D-printed and open source, so you can try it for yourself:

Back to Genevieve with a talk about volunteers at the DMNS:
Nice seeing how roles & tasks are broken up, so that everyone (even those w/o ento. exp.) can contribute!
Love the message that "we all break bugs" - important to emphasis!
Curious what's on everyone's insect pinning playlist?🤔 #ECN2025

Learning more about the prolific work of hymenopterist Lubomír Masner with Proctotrupoidea wasps & development of new collection tools!
Glad to hear my sewing hobby might come in handy haha - though mesh is super tricky! 🧵
Good message from Lubo: "Less computer, more collecting"!

Thinking about buying a macro lens for insect photography? Along with @ageofarthropods.bsky.social we have been testing many options! Our results are summarized in 2 blog posts in the field www.insectid.org/post/macro-l... and in the lab www.insectid.org/post/lab-tes...
