Today’s #beetle picture is a sampling of things that I’ve extracted with homemade Winkler funnels. 4 Paederinae, 2 Aleocharinae, 2 Pselaphinae, a Staphylininae, a Lampyridae larva (I think), a Ptiliidae, and a rare treat Protocucujidae, all from the same moss cushion

After a couple days of internet trouble, I’m back with some more #beetle pics. Gonna show some love to the little brown beetles, starting with this Ericmodes tarsalis (Protocucujidae). Check out those teeth on the pronotum!

The loss of specimens, even less popular ones like centipedes, is a setback for science. Holotypes, which define entire species, are especially valuable and hard to replace. undark.org/2023/07/05/neg…

This article documents the severe and ongoing specimen neglect I witnessed over 12 months working at Florida State Collection of Arthropods. Please take a look and consider sharing this, it's extremely important for people to know how and why scientific material is being lost.
