- Reposted by Emma Van ReemptsImagine being the first scientist to notice that some of the ants being studied had two butts & that one of them was a beetle that had latched on for a free ride. See the mandibles of the beetle (yellow arrow)? Latched on to the ant's 'waist', blending seamlessly. Ants with detachable butts.
- Truly had the most amazing time exploring the diversity of gall wasps (Cynipidae) today! Found 11 species on one oak 🤔 I unfortunately also spotted some larvae of the invasive Rhagoletis completa (walnut husk fly) in our walnut tree. These guys have some very cool Wolbachia though!
- Big congrats to one of the most inspiring people I've ever met, eDNA for the win!
