It's Friday, stop what you're doing, pick up your latest American Entomologist, turn to the back page, and read @RLOlsson's Zyzzyva article "Shared Traits: Entomologists and LGBTQ+ Folks". @ECP_Entsoc @AmericanEntoSoc @WSUEntomology

@PriyadarshiniCB Was all you Priya! Interesting and timely article. Smoky again here in Washington today; I wonder what the insects are doing...

@drdavecoyle and I have been working with @AudubonSc to tackle the thorny issue of controlling Elaeagnus spp. in a forest setting. This video, filmed in collaboration with @UntamedScience, reviews some great identification and management strategies!

Pear bloom is rollin'. I've always heard honey bees don't "like" pear flowers. So growers use sprayable products like Bee Scent to encourage honeybee pollination. There are also ongoing studies testing augmentation of a native pollinator, O. lignaria, the blue orchard bee.

Pear psylla nymphs on bradford pear in Wenatchee, WA. Pear psylla is the #1 insect pest pear growers battle each year. I've been wondering what effects (if any) do all the urban bradford pears have on the psylla population in major pear growing regions.

@dpsskis would you recommend applying the phantom glide to fish scale zones on bc skis like the Voile Charger? Notoriously difficult to wax

[Louis Nottingham @LouisNottingham]

@realDonaldTrump nope

@Al_Letson ur interview w Richard Spencer was brave, difficult & important. Calm, congenial DISCUSSIONS, not arguements, r crucial.
