I found this pile of mandibles in a #whimbrel #poo sample. Is it safe to assume they belonged to caterpillars? Or could they be from other invertebrates?
Thanks in advance!

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Less than 20 years ago, the world was headed for a >4C warmer world by 2100. The amount of change that would occur under that much warming, that fast, was almost unimaginable and certainly unsurvivable for human civilization + a large percentage of the world's species. (thread)
