I haven’t been active on twitter but I want to share more of my content from #TikTok and #instagram mainly short videos about insects and spiders. Some content about life and grad school. Here is my recent ticktock https://t.co/GftDMwSzNh

Have you started to see candy-striped #spiders out & about? Please help us to learn more about these introduced predators in North America by joining the #SpiderHunters project!

@Cataranea @Ibycter Um… I have seen them in North Texas for 6 years. Had a VERY hard time identifying them 5 years ago and just called them “unknown” for one project. Thanks for the info- didn’t know they were introduced.

@JosephTLapp @rabidwalkspider This is a great biostats book if you want to read more: The Analysis of Biological Data https://t.co/YvvXsSeSGz

[Maddy Hannappel @HannappelMaddy]

@JosephTLapp @rabidwalkspider It’s all about the question: You need the appropriate data to ask a specific question. If you can ask the question with the data, you can test it statistically. A p-value is the probability of 1 null hypothesis being true given the null distribution (usually random chance).

[Maddy Hannappel @HannappelMaddy]

@JosephTLapp @rabidwalkspider If a trend is statistically unlikely “random” then it’s likely a variable is affecting the data: think age and height. Height ⬆️ with age to a certain point (humans). With a sample of humans across ages, the relationship & a p-value would indicate the relationship is non random.

Getting sampling in before #JASM22 next week. Come find us at wed night poster session at 5:30pm. Gill Stallings is talking about dragonfly production in stormwater ponds #ponds #aquaticinsects

I have a series on Instagram called “What’s on my patio? Wednesday”. This week I found a parasitoid bee fly (Bombyliidae anthrax). Should I start posting them to twitter as well? #whatsonmypatiowednesday #beefly #insects ⁦@smoorebugs⁩ https://t.co/jS7VX63jBo

@SeymourAquaBio I only wish I would be asked what undergraduate university @SeymourAquaBio attended on my PhD written exams… #ballstate #ChirpChirp

Question for my spider people: How common/frequent is it for spiders that build webs to eat their old silk? I have only witnessed it myself once. #spiders #spiderweb #arachnology

What’s better than a picture of a jumping spider? Jumping spiders set to music: https://t.co/KMJb1C6167

ID Request: A photography friend (Regina K. Dale) would like to know what species this jumping spider is. Location: Denton, TX

[Maddy Hannappel @HannappelMaddy]

@neville_park Is that the only reason you stopped at mine???

[Maddy Hannappel @HannappelMaddy]

@AAS_arachnology @isabetabug @spiderdayNight I NEED more spider apparel, stickers, and other paraphernalia. Got any recommendations? #Arachnids21

[Maddy Hannappel @HannappelMaddy]

Loved @The_Bug_Girl's talk on Sci Comm at the AAS meeting. I realized I don't include my instagram posts on twitter. I think I will start! #Arachnids21 @AAS_arachnology
