Not usually a bird of the day poster, but the theme reminded me of this shot. Cocoi heron on the shore of the Rio Paraná near Ilha Solteira, Brazil, 2011. #BirdOfTheDay #Contrast

For busy friends, the tl;dr on Under One Canopy, chapter by chapter. Foreword – We have taken our unique and special planet for granted for too long. Our actions (and inactions) have sharply reduced the quality of life for all of its inhabitants. This is both shortsighted and morally wrong. (1/15)

A totally ridiculously awesome caterpillar!

Out looking for Lobster Moth Stauropus fagi on Dartmoor, Devon today - no luck. Several years ago I was given some larvae to rear - the weirdest UK caterpillar! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JxF...

The NHMLA is hiring an Assistant Collections Manager for updating our frozen tissues collection to liquid nitrogen storage. This position is grant-funded for 3 years. I'm a bit late on posting this, but there is still one week left to apply! workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/defau...

— Have you ever wished you could see a wingless megaspilid wasp? Now you can check it off your bucket list. Happy (early) #WinglessWaspWednesday to those who celebrate! 🤓 FYI, its body length is ~0.8mm — #NaturalHistoryCollections #MacroPhotography #FocusStacking #Megaspilidae

It is unacceptable for a world-class city like ours to allow its major natural history museum to close. We cannot allow it. My statement ⬇️

And then these companies sell our articles back to our libraries for exorbitant fees. Parasites.

I am recruiting a PhD student in Entomology to begin in January 2027. The selected student will study scale insect biological control in urban trees. See the attached flyer for details. My lab website describes the type of research we do: caleb-j-wilson.com

As a taxonomist, all this renaming has me nervous. Hoping no one in the Trump administration checks out the distributions of 'Canadian swallowtail', or eastern redbud, or... Will the Nomenclatural Commissions have to get involved??

South Carolina is in play in 2026 and with your help, we’re going to send a pediatrician to the United States Senate.

Who's got 👍 👍 & grabs #flies to travel? This guy!!! It fell off the timber fly: bsky.app/profile/bert... Someone also found a stilt-legged fly, #Micropezidae, w/another little #pseudoscorpion hitching a ride. This type of #phoresy (traveling on other animals) is common. Costa Rica #FlySchool2026

Spectacular catch on the 1st day of #FlySchool2026 by student Sangjin Han! This massive timber fly was flying around the lobby of the Soltis Center last night. At over 2"/5 cm this is the largest live fly I've ever seen 😳 Larvae bore in wood. Amazing! 🥰 #Pantophthalmidae: #Pantophthalmus Costa Rica

Bats and bat-flies Last night I tagged along to collect Nycteribiids from Daubenton’s bats. Great to see these dipteran weirdoes - flies with no wings, no eyes & giving birth to live young. 😎🪰 @dipteristsforum.bsky.social @royentsoc.bsky.social
