New unit trays—Thanks @BioQuip! Now to curating!

Thanks to Jake Goldner for vouchering specimens from his dissertation research—nearly 1,700 Ebony Jewelwing damselflies (Calopteryx maculata) with digitized data!

Thanks to @Crematojester for donating these well-prepared, identified ants!

While sorting, moving, & rehousing part of our slide collection this week we came across these intricate brown lacewing wings (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae) #PERCBugs

What a face! #PERCBugs #WeevilWednesday

A "fuzzy" fungus weevil, Toxonotus fascicularis (Schönherr 1833), collected in 1919 by W.S. Blatchley from Cape Sable, Florida #PERCBugs #WeevilWednesday

An unidentified CA weevil collected in 1888—on the pin you see a type of vivid green corrosion called verdigris—a reaction between the metals used in very old pins & drawer microclimate —can be a serious problem, but only a tiny % of our specimens are impacted #PERCBugs

New logo, now new stickers-the American Burying Beetle is actual size on these!

We are excited to share our new logo—featuring Nicrophorus americanus, once "frequent" in Indiana, today no longer found in the state, highlighting the importance of collections work!

A beautiful bee from our collection—a male Agapostemon splendens (Halictidae)—appropriately named!
