Hey #Botany2026 friends, our Belonging in Botany speaker had to cancel unfortunately (we hope to get him back next year!). Instead we're trying something different. We're going to have a discussion-based workshop to help us connect across our common struggles and share ways to stay resilient 1/2

Be a dipterist. Be in Costa Rica for #FlySchool2026. See a muscoid #fly perching on a leaf. Tell student so they can collect it. Success!! Wait a minute 🤔 That's not a fly, but weevil mimicking one! This was so convincing, even rapidly moving & poking its wings out 🥰 #Curculionidae: cf. #Mnemynurus
