Check out the article that @Amy_L_Toth and I wrote for @ConversationEDU about our recent pub (w/ Erin McCall) in J Econ Entomol. I'm hopeful to take advantage of the wasps already in the Pacific now!

It is beautifully illustrated with Lily’s own art. Lily Duval was a plenary speaker at our 2022 conference. The Entomological Society is proud to have supported this book.

Biocontrol of thistles is a great idea. We just need to make sure that our beetles don't like munching less prickly species better.

Dr Aola Richards was the first woman to be awarded a PhD in Biological Sciences in New Zealand, for which she studied cave wētā. She was a pioneer of entomology, both here in New Zealand and Australia, describing countless species during her lifetime. https://t.co/RME75dSV7e

So I'm in the yarden, and I see these beautiful caterpillars on my kowhai. "Kowhai moths?!?" I wonder. So https://t.co/0G5EGqn5cZ to the rescue! Kowhai moths indeed. They can stay.

Check out that webbing. So cool.
