What an amazing launch it's been! In a relatively short period of time the Ommatidium Project has helped people in #acarology and #entomology, and now we even have a crustacean expert! Thank you to everyone who has made this project successful. #bugsky
The Ommatidium Project
@entofacet.org
A volunteer network connecting people interested in invertebrate science with mentors, specialists, and practical guidance. Join the hive.
#entomology and #acarology (and other) communities can now join as an organisation! Thanks to the person who provided the suggestion. A bit tricky to implement but this will really help with some requests!
A journalist has asked me to find them an entomologist for a story they’re doing on mosquitoes. Any entomologists down?
It's a funny request for an entomologist we made up. But these sorts of requests do come in from time to time. Ask the front desk of many #entomology departments.
Our internal database allows manual searches based on the tags experts provide. You'll only show up in a volunteer's search results if your tags match what the request is looking for. That level of human touch is how we connect you to people. #entomology #inverts
From #psylloidea to other #hemiptera we cover answers to questions across most of #entomology and #arachnology. Submit your requests!
The Ommatidium Project is live. Ask about any insect, mite, spider, or other invertebrate, and we connect you to the person who studies it. Free. No account to ask questions. Nothing to pay. Volunteer run. Bring on your bug questions. Or join the expertise pool. entofacet.org #entomology #bugsky
The hive is growing, we now have experts across everything from Psylloidea to Isoptera. We are always looking for more participants. Public requests launching soon. More at: entofacet.org/experts #entomology #inverts
The Ommatidium Project has created a semi-amusing Frequently Asked Questions page. Open for all! Check it out at entofacet.org/faq Feel free to e-mail more questions as they come up. #entomology #science #inverts
Our expert pool is growing, from Acari to Psylloidea. With the help and passion of the invertebrate science community, we hope to create a home for connections across the field. It’s also free and a passion project to help the community. Not a side hustle. #entomology #inverts

Now recruiting expert contacts for The Ommatidium Project. If you are an entomologist or invertebrate specialist willing to field the occasional question, join the hive. Clear limits, we provide you automated reporting of your impact. #entomology #inverts #science entofacet.org/experts
Coming soon: The Ommatidium Project, a better front door to #entomology and invertebrate science. For the curious: somewhere to ask when you do not know who to contact. For entomologists: cleaner requests with clear limits, and impact evidence for your documentation in return. entofacet.org
