Kentucky golf folks, if you haven't already, spend 5 minutes to help @kennethdclayton and his graduate project a helping hand! He's hunting for #annualbluegrassweevil in the bluegrass state!

[Kenneth Clayton @kennethdclayton]

Louisville, Covington, Florence, could all be hotspots. Straggler cicadas are an interesting phenomenon, cicada researchers at @MountStJosephU are looking for data on them. If you find cicadas in 2022 take a pic for @CicadaSafari or upload to @inaturalist so we can map them out!

[Jonathan Larson @bugmanjon]

Hey Kentucky! If you saw any #BroodX cicadas last year, you can check right now for "straggler" cicadas. These cuties "lost count" so to speak, and are coming out of the ground right now!

Over last weekend I was able to get this video of a paper wasp gathering wood shavings to pulp for the nest she's gonna build! Look at her go!

Getting lots of annual bluegrass weevils #ABW here in KY. In Paris, KY and got 137 adults in soap flushes in 4 sqft. Still in low hundreds for growing degree days and forsythia just hit full gold. Get out and check now rather than wait for the half gold and half green bushes!

[Arthro-Pod @Arthro_Podshow]

Want to know how the spongy moth got its name? We interviewed Dr. Anh Tran & @joshualancette about the Better Common Names Project.

I was super excited to talk arthropod mascots and nicknames with @JodyBugsMeUNL and @mskvarla36

[Arthro-Pod @Arthro_Podshow]

The Arthro-pod team got a little carried away talking/judging the accuracy of #arthropod college #mascots in our last episode.

To see the mascots we discuss, go to “Arthropod Mascot PowerPoint” link in show notes: https://t.co/dqcYml1dXx
