Where are people buying their aerial nets these days? Bioquip used to make soft fine mesh nets and I can only find ones that have the coarse mesh. Insects tend to stick to the coarse mesh. TIA!

Oh, hey, it’s Taxonomist Appreciation Day! To all y’alls who have been building and maintaining essential collections, reconstructing evolutionary histories, and giving us the tools to understand biodiversity, thank you! May your effort be rewarded with jobs, grant funding, and honor.

Flyer for undergrad help in pollinator research at Kansas State University. Reach out to Dr. Tania Kim at tkim@ksu.edu or Dr. Brian Spiesman at bspiesman@ksu.edu for more details.

Summer undergraduate help needed! We are looking for undergrads to help with field research in insect ecology and pollinator conservation. Pay is $13-18/hr depending on experience and location is Manhattan, KS (Kansas State University). Check out the post below.

Good suggestion for databasing but there needs to be a physical label with the specimen. Trying to find an efficient way to do this for lots of insects collected in the field.

Looking for help on how to efficiently process LOTS of insect field specimens. Currently, we pin insect w/hand written site/date label then ID insect w/hand written label then create new printed labels w/unique ID #. Seems inefficient! Does anyone have a better workflow that they can share? THX!
