Have you ever wanted to see millions on monarchs at their overwintering grounds in Mexico? I'll be leading a trip February 11-16. After going last year with @Dr_Akito, I can safely say it is an incredible and bucket-list worthy experience! Details: holbrooktravel.com/where-we-…

I am so thrilled to announce that our paper “Population Genetic Structure of a Rare Butterfly in a Fragmented South Florida Ecosystem” is out! With wonderful colleagues @kkbugtime, Emily Heffernan, Jaret Daniels, Mary R. Truglio and @swamphiker.
A 🧵:
ALT Two images of butterflies perching on vegetation. The left butterfly is a male, with dark brown wings with a scattering of small white spots on the tip of the forewings. The right butterfly is a female with dappled purple and brown wings, with the same scattering of spots.

That’s the shimmering, metallic exoskeletons of fiery searcher beetles in there. Seen just a mile from the U.S.-Mexico border on the San Pedro River in Arizona.
