Replying to @GlobalLocust @EntsocAmerica

#Taxonomists as a community find it hard to publish their work in peer-reviewed journals without page charges. Zootaxa has filled that gap and played an important role in publishing taxonomic research. We continue to publish and cite our work in Zootaxa. I support #Zootaxa.

Aww, man! My video was ripped off all the way to the reddit front page. Uncredited. It’d make me feel better if people could watch the content from my channel. There’s more to this content than flashy, front-page-worthy clips! youtu.be/yqdD4lc20Wk

Let us now turn our attention to the lovely, bloated FLIES that live only in termite nests. Isn't nature wonderful (and a bit messed up). More here: rosspiper.net/2019/11/20/ter… 📷Maruyama et al 2011.

This beautiful velvet worm was found by the nightly frog walk group in a rotting log during BugShot Ecuador. Onycophorans are of their own distinct and ancient lineage, more closely related to arthropods than worms.

Good news! You live on a planet with click beetles. These things are magic! Go scrounge around outside and find one. I found this one in a rotten log 2 days ago. Here's what they do in slow-mo, 3,200fps. Crazy, right?

Strutting woodcock! 💃🏼

Woodcock strutting

Never seen a woodcock strut? Now you have! The rocking motion and heavy steps cause worms to move around, making them easier to find! Video by Keith Ramos/USFWS.

Big congrats to @GlobalLocust, who recently won a half-a-million dollar grant from @USAID @theOFDA to test whether soil amendments to millet fields in Senegal will decrease devastating locust outbreaks & improve farmer livelihoods. ow.ly/xfXo50jPdhG
