the new developments on inat inspired me to make a diagnostic thread for every insect order because there's only like 30something of them. going to try and avoid exceptions and extremely technical characteristics when possible. 🧵

Can you help @adsalbert.bsky.social hunt for evidence of ant(agonistic) interactions hidden in collections?
Infographic made to spread the word about these ant antagonistic interactions.

It says: Call for data! Hunting for hidden ant(agonistic) interactions. Have you seen an ant biting other animal? They can be anywhere? Collaboration is needed to gather sufficient data! Data describing this species interactions is hard to get! Posible sources are: (1) specimens held at Natural History Museums, (2) Photographs of live interactions and (3) Unknow bibliographic reports.

Contact me to sanchezalbertadrian@gmail.com in case you can help!

The moth's reputation has been unfairly damaged by the few pest species that damage clothing, food, and crops. Ecologist Chris Cosma says it’s time to embrace moths as important pollinators. 🧪

Mosquitoes drink nectar (not just blood), but do they prefer nectar from some plants over others? A new research review shows mosquitoes do indeed have nectar preferences, which researchers say can inform placement of attractive targeted sugar baits in mosquito control efforts.

Created reference pollen slides from the Stengl Lost Pines Field Station herbarium this weekend for two student mentees' capstone research projects. These references will be used to identify pollen on historic and recent SLP moth specimens, helping us understand moth-plant interactions over time.
