The cruelty of parasitoids #parasitoid #wasp #moth

Did you know? #spiders consume 800 million tons of #prey each year—far surpassing whales, which eat up to 500 million tons. These eight-legged hunters play a crucial role in keeping our #ecosystems in #balance. Paraphidippus TN, #USA. Nyffeler & Birkhofer, 2017 #Entomology

It was truly an inspiring experience teaching insect classification to a group of enthusiastic students at Lipscomb University . There’s nothing more motivating than interacting with such attentive and eager learners. I’m deeply grateful to Prof. Lewis for this wonderful opportunity.

It was such a rewarding experience to teach an engaged group of students about spiders at Lipscomb University University. Their attentiveness made the session even more enjoyable and meaningful. Many thanks again Prof. Lewis! #entomology #insects #spiders Lipscomb Bisons #teachingfeelings

As fall arrive, love is in the air for wasps like Eremnophila aureonotata. Males and females come together for a final rendezvous, ensuring the next generation. Soon, the females will rest through winter, ready to give life in spring, while the males pass away. #insects #wasps

Meet the tiny phorid fly. It swoops in faster than you can blink, laying an egg inside the ant’s body. When the larva hatches, it makes its way to the ant’s head and slowly devours it from the inside. The result? The ant’s head falls clean off. #entomology #parasitoids #insects

I’m thrilled to be teaching a class on parasitic wasps to the biology students at Ashland University, OH, USA! My sincere thanks to Dr. Cindy Perkovich for this wonderful opportunity. #Entomology #teaching #parasitoids #Students #wasps

Thrilled to present at Entomological Collections Network on how our Tennessee State University collection aids in solving ag challenges. Best conference yet! Huge thanks to #ECN2024, Jessica Awad Jessica Awad & Luke Kresslein for organizing the symposium. Grateful for the chance to connect with incredible taxonomists

I had the privilege of delivering a lecture on "Why Study #Entomology" to a group of students from the Kumaraguru Institute of Agriculture (KIA) . I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to speak on this fascinating topic. My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Shanmugapriya for organizing the event. #insects

We are excited to invite you to the workshop on insect photography! Kindly mark your calendar for Tuesday, March 11th, 2025, and join us at the Hilton Capitol Room from 8: 30 AM to 10:30 AM during the Entomological Society of America Southeastern Branch Meeting Entomological Society of America

I organized a photography workshop at the Entomological Society of America SE branch meeting in Baton Rouge for field techniques to document insects. One click can reveal nature’s intricate stories—like an aphid colony on a cashew leaf, tended by an ant, hunted by a wasp, and ambushed by predators

Spotted and photographed some Aphidius parasitoids in action today, ambushing a group of adorably doomed aphids feasting on cilantro leaves. #insects #parasitoids #entomology #aphids #braconid #nature

Had an amazing opportunity to teach two classes on fungi to the highly enthusiastic students of the #Biology Department at Lipscomb University! #Teaching is always an incredible journey, and I'm grateful for the chance to engage with such passionate learners. #Entomology #students #fungi

Deer Bot fly moms don’t lay eggs—they hatch larvae inside their uterus, then airdrop live maggots into a deer’s nose. The larvae chill at the tongue base, grow big, then get sneezed out. Pupate. Emerge. Repeat. Nature’s weirdest life cycle. #BugFacts #Entomology #insects #flies
