Today, my first large paper on Colorado Scarabaeoidea was published by Insecta Mundi covering 28 species, with several new state records. It is the first in a series of papers covering distribution, phenology and ecology of Colorado scarabaeoid beetles.
Today, a fascinating book on Animal Mummies was published by Sidestone Press in which Ben van den Bercken from the Allard Pierson and I have written a chapter on an incredibly well preserved beetle mummy that even made it onto the front cover of the book. www.researchgate.net/publication/...
