    This afternoon: curating the UT collection’s leaf-mining flies. Turns out we have a pretty amazing collection of well-prepared specimens from TX and WI, complete with expert IDs and genital dissections.

    Very cool paper showing how anti-bat ultrasound production by moths can be determined by tymbal morphology. Another reason why museum collections are important. Kudos to ⁦⁦⁩ and Bill Connor for this nice work.

    Yep, require more people, money; to get the work done. 10 million beetles...so little time. Here’s one drawer. To catalogue and recurate takes a day or more of dedicated time.

    When you cannot have enough of the pretty beetles you’re curating & you share photos of them on social media. 😍

    Our specimen of the day is the December moth (Poecilocampa populi). This moth cannot feed, but can can survive winter by expelling water from their system to prevent their insides from freezing.
