The students in #ZOO2700 have been mailing us their face mite strips! I think the mail person is wondering why I’m getting so much mail. Today we will continue to search for and barcode the mites. #facemites #demodex

NEWS: There is a new report on plants and animals found only in Canada. It is called "Ours to Save" by @NCC_CNC and @natureserve. It lists 308 endemic species but just 10% are globally secure. Thanks @IvanSemeniuk for this story. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article… #EnvironmentWeek #nature

Check out this small-headed fly (family #Acroceridae) that we found in one of our #Costarican malaise traps! Larvae in this family are parasitoids, developing inside the bodies of spiders! #IlluminateBiodiversity #BIOSCAN #biodiversity #diptera #fly #entomology
