#MyTwitterAnniversary. In my first year, I sent 350 tweets, gained 200 followers, and spread my love of western Nearctic terrestrial arthropod Biodiversity. Thanks. Twitter translation - 👍🏼❤️🐝🐞🕷🦗🐜🐛❤️🇨🇦🏔🏝#BritishColumbia #yyj

@Bertonemyia @thekeithing Definitely Fucellia. Not sure of the species. I am working with some folks on that group now. Did you collect any?

[Joel Gibson @RBCMento]

@ROD_Entomology I only look for typos if I am not first author and I trust the person that is. Unless of course I am solely responsible for a particular section. As for reviewing, it all depends on the length of the paper.

#Coleoptera folks, especially #Buprestidae help me out. This beetle dress from turn of the century BC was made in Ireland possibly using material from India. Is there any way to determine the species??

[Joel Gibson @RBCMento]

#Diptera friends help me out! Does anyone have an idea of who may have drawn this? Date uncertain. Found in the #RoyalBCMuseum collections.

British Columbia is home to nearly 500 species of bees. The Okanagan alone has close to 400 species. Fascinating, right? Here's another interesting fact: around 70% of these bees nest in the ground.
