James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Possibly the coolest insect I have collected *inside* my house. It was very pleasing indeed. 030
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Haha! Not only am I an entomologist, I specialize in the evolution of Phasmatodea. Must be a friends issue 😆 140
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 23/04/2025This woman definitely has a man in her life. Nothing says “I’m taken” quite like the copious use of tape in repairs. 000
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 20/04/2025No one does Easter eggs quite like stick and leaf insects do www.frontiersin.org/journals/eco... 316840
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Not sure about the Easter Bunny, but the Easter Beetle is definitely real 0100
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Well that’s sucky news. I’ve used CIRPES to run phylogenetic/evolutionary analyses from grad school to present. Such an important computational resource for the evolutionary biology community. What a loss. 😢 22720
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 27/02/2025A nice Macrolepiota I came across last fall. 030
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Thank you @altmetric.bsky.social There’s a lot of sciencing being shared on @bsky.app www.frontiersin.org/journals/eco... 040
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 04/12/2024I don’t care who you are, stick and leaf insects are just cool 😎 www.frontiersin.org/files/Articl... 5759
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 04/12/2024My son’s 4th grade Christmas concert. Can you name that tune? Yeah, neither could I. 050
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Beetles from Mars??? Nope. They are Paussus: The quintessential trojan horses of the insect world. Obligate myrmecophiles that fly under the ants’ radar, achieve royalty status in the ant colony, dupe the ants into feeding their young, all the while preying upon the ants and their brood. 🤯 1110
James Robertson, PhD @2elytra.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Pottery class or phasmid eggs? 🤯 The only insect order with blatant species specific egg morphology across the order. Read more at www.frontiersin.org/journals/eco... 3263
