Why you shouldn't buy a @PelaCase . I've been buyings their biodegradable cases for the last few years. They are very $ but they lure you to purchase multiple items to get a discount - they don't tell you that extras aren't likely to be covered by their "100% happiness guarantee"
I haven't been adding to my shop much, but I did create this sweet DNA sweatshirt recently - idea for the design came from my friend Rick - I hope you like it! I have a few more new things I hope to get out in the near future too.

Jumping spiders can move each eye independently. The lens itself is fixed on the exoskeleton, but the eye tubes can swivel around internally π The black retina is only visible from the front when the eye is focused ahead!

@TomKuhar@EntsocAmerica I know. There are a few sessions on pollinators / pollinator habitat that I was looking forward to attending. The moment you're not an ECP anymore they assume you're flush with cash - but I changed careers and took a huge reduction in salary, so I definitely am not. Lol.
Jesus Christ, I thought I might go to entsoc for a day this year b/c I can't afford the 700 + hotel & travel. I looked up the cost and it is 500... for ONE DAY. @EntsocAmerica - I quit being a member when I couldn't afford it and now i guess I'm done with conferences too. :(
@catgyoung Conservation outreach & education in ag & urban settings, esp. pollinators & insect conservation. I also help get our name out there (@ColonialSoil), so more people in eastern VA can take advantage of our programs to help install conservation-orientated best management practices.
Hey Twitter - any thoughts on what species this #frog is? My sister in law found it in the produce section in a grocery store in Augusta, GA, & wants to know if it's a domestic species & can be released. Looks like a squirrel tree frog to me, but I'm quite bad at IDing #Hyla sp.
