I have started doing a podcast named "Lovin' Learnin' About Bugs." My talented and charming friend @heyfolksimbear does all the work, and I bring my entomology knowledge. We answer listener bug questions, ranging from very dumb to very smart. Send questions to @ImLovinLearnin.

@ClutchPoints @TalkinYanks So disrespectful to sports fans, smh.

Researchers should investigate what makes me immune to propaganda when nobody else is.

Knitted Schistosoma mansoni life cycle! A member of @AmSocParasit made this. There are even knitted sporocysts inside the snail😍

I always feel oddly proud of myself getting a new computer and ramping up the scrolling speed, reducing the size of text and icons.
Sharp eyes and quick reflexes; like an elf.

Dear ArachnoTwitter,
Could anybody identify this spider please? Wiggins, Mississippi collected 2 days ago.
It seems to serve as a host for an interesting fungal pathogen, Purpureocillium aff. atypicola.
Thank you!

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes! 🤯 Even for me as a nest researcher, these are the craziest bird nests I've ever seen. Today my paper came out on this rebellious behaviour. And it's like telling a joke...

A thread. 🧵

❌🪲 Pessoal, vocês me marcaram muito nisso aqui. Não é um inseto real, é de um perfil do Instagram que faz, o @arthropoda_iconicus.

Nada de fungo zumbi aqui.
Graças ao sistema nervoso diferente dos insetos (ventral e ganglionar), eles conseguem operar mesmo com partes grandes do corpo faltando. Porém, não dura muito e rapidamente acaba a energia que restou para mover os músculos.

At a certain point, why even have legs? An Oedipina worm salamander in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

The #Parasite Case 721 is up: stool specimen on modified AF stain and calcofluor white. Patient with 1+ weeks profuse watery diarrhea. https://t.co/MiJaZ81y3Z ID? Is this a fungus or parasite?
