Entomologists : Entomologists Blogs
It is finally starting to reliably warm up in spring, although we still have a few cold evenings. Bumblebees are one of the first pollinators out in the spring, and the fuzzy adorableness of their bodies does help retain heat. With the help of a thermal camera, David Attenborough shows us some ot... (original story)

Entomologists : Entomologists Blogs
I talked about Varroa Mites yesterday, and I wanted to point out that solitary bees also have parasites that can be deadly. Osmia, or Mason bees, occur in all shapes and sizes, but nearly all 300 species are fuzzy, mild-mannered, and adorable. They’re called mason bees because they create ... (original story)

This past March was the warmest on record here in Missouri and that made for some nice opportunities to get out and photograph. That said, my enthusiasm for macro photography has been somewhat tempered since my camera body is getting old and showing some signs that it might be on its last leg. Th... (original story)

I recently ran across this on Joan Crawford: the Best of Everything, a site every Joan Crawford fan should visit. I highly doubt Crawford had anything to do with it. It reads like a publication of the MGM publicity department, which doesn’t make it any less interesting. Hollywood Magazine,... (original story)

I had a great time learning about insects last weekend at the Insecta Fiesta. It was held on Saturday, April 21, 2012, at the UT Austin Brackenridge Field Lab. You can see from the picture above that this place had a big bug problem, but that’s a good thing. (Although you can’t see it in this p... (original story)

Roaches raced on a small oval track at Purdue’s Bug Bowl during their annual Spring Fest event April 14 and 15. Bug Bowl and Spring Fest both got their start from Roach Hill Downs, which was originally a entomology class project started by Dr. Tom Turpin. I was lucky enough to catch the action...
