Behold my new colony! P. scaber comes in so many colors. #isopods #pets #entomologist #aww #cuteinverts
Excellent cards for your loved ones on Valentine's Day and for a good cause!
We got to tag, clip, and measure four very beautiful young lemons. Shout out to our sharks Lemonade, Limeade, Goombay, and Bahama Mama.
These little guys spend their days sheltered in the Bahamas' beautiful mangroves snacking on small fish before venturing out into the larger ocean.
Very cool day out with The Island School in Eleuthera, Bahamas working with lemon sharks (Negaprion brevitostris). Thank you to the team showing me & my students an excellent time. It was great being included in the research process. I measured length and girth of little Goombay (third picture).
I did an entire episode on my podcast Bugs Need Heroes about stink bugs if you're really curious. Check it out anywhere you get podcasts.
Christmas kitty cuddles.

Purchased! Thank you for the recommendation. I recommend back Underland: A Deep Time Journey by Robert MacFarlane. A beautiful exploration about the Earth's underworlds through ecology, anthropology, myth, and literature.

It's that time of year.
We didn't feel like putting a tree up this year so I decided to pile gifts around this cat bed monstrosity. Finn is considering whether or not this is his jam.
All the ornaments are attached with one tiny strip of Velcro so we anticipate seeing them all over the house in the days to come. #cats
Give me your favorite unconventional Christmas movies! The Thing is on my list.

I'd like to get a few more of species native to my area for talks. Anyone know of other shops that sell other realistic bugs? I know there are a few companies in Japan that love beetles.
How cute they are also helps with getting kids and squeamish adults comfortable once we see real moths. Some people are pretty uncomfortable around moths and butterflies due to their erratic-to-us flight patterns.
A very cute felt rosy maple moth (Dryocampa rubicunda) from Etsy. The seller is CrazyEchos (I paid for my moth, noy an ad, I just love her moths). Using fairly realistic prop moths when I give talks for moth nights/in the classroom allows for quick teaching without harming/stressing the moths.
My nosy roly poly (Armadillidium nasatum) is munching on a piece of carrot. Peep that baby in the left corner popping up from underneath the carrot. I've got a pretty large colony now in the lab. I feed them vegetable scraps & fish flakes. My students think they are pretty cute. I agree. ❤️
Do my cats have full names? Yes. Yes, they do. At the vet it's their full names plus Zimmerman at the end. They are fancy. They are perfect. They are cozy on a chilly Saturday.

We've all had days like ol' Chucky D.
Photos of my National Moth Week T-shirt, a cicada emerging, the promo for the event, a few field guides I recommend for identifying moths, and an adorable felt moth (Antheraea polyphemus) for demonstration purposes. The moth was made by CrazyEchos on Etsy (she has many moths, all adorable).
