Excited to share my latest work in Australian Entomologist on the discovery of the host of Coriophagus casui, a #Strepsiptera from New Zealand, made possible through iNaturalist data! You can read it from Researchgate: researchgate.net/publication…

Estoy muy feliz, acabo de describí una nueva especie de strepsiptero para México!! Se trata de Halictoxenos fortunatus, una especie que parasita a Lasioglossum exiguum, una especie de abeja endémica de México! 🐝 Pueden solitar el escritorio en este link: researchgate.net/publication…

This ginormous specimen, collected with @KayunL , is Megachile inermis. I collected a small series of these, all on Cirsium. I was hoping they'd be something I didn't already have, but they're still the largest Megachile I currently have. Look how long that vertex is!

Had a great time in Utah! Even got to do some fun collecting and drove a truck for the first time 🤩

This is M. tessellatus. It is super easy to ID because of its dulled scutum! I'll be in Logan, UT from July 27-August 2 for some samples from their bee collection! If anyone will be around and wants to go collecting once or twice with @KayunL and I, you are more than welcome!

Maybe in my 40s I can say the paper was accepted 🙈

ヤノトガリハナバチのレクトタイプ。Scutellumから後ろ向きに生えた突起は他のグループのハチにも見られるので何らかの機能がありそう。 Lectotype of Coelioxys yanonis Matsumura, 1912. #北大博物館
