I am deeply proud of this work, which afforded me the privilege of honoring my mentor, Charles V. Covell Jr., one of the most respected and knowledgeable authorities on Lepidoptera.

Newly identified groups of moths, the “comose flame moths” and “comose fire moths”, that begin to illuminate the still poorly understood Neotropical entomofauna while highlighting the remarkable diversity arising from cryptic speciation:

In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection letter from Nature.

His findings were not "a sufficient advance in our understanding".

27 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery.

Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

A bit of happy news: I'm joining Naturalis Biodiversity Center as a #DarkTaxa Researcher in April 2025! I also plan to be more active on that other platform (🟦🦋) and I hope some of you will follow me over there as I begin my dream job and start my own research program!

Nature’s aquatic architects: Caddisfly larvae use specially adapted silk to construct portable cases and underwater shelters that provide protection and facilitate feeding. New #ProcB paper explores the evolutionary origins of this trait: https://t.co/R1BjKC9jsP

Welcome Jonathan Nations, our new curator of mammals! Like many scientists, the path from curiosity to profession was a winding journey—one filled with marmots, voles, shrews and rats. 🐀

When we think about pollinators, bees and butterflies often come to mind. But there are many other types of insects, and even some vertebrates, that can act as pollinators and also deserve appreciation. Why should bees and butterflies get all the love?
