Some exciting life news... I am now a lecturer in Entomology and Ecology at Lincoln University in New Zealand!

We took the Entomology students on a fieldtrip over the weekend, and saw some of my favourite invertebrates: Velvet worms (Ooperipatellus) and giant springtails (Holacanthella)! Always a joy to see these incredible creatures.

Found a dead #Cicada. And wondering if I should research how to pin it, or should I find some other way to preserve the specimen. #SciArt #Ento #Invertebrates #Photography ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ

So I tried my hand on making this cute weevil that Jen photographed. My first attempt at #Invert art and I think I opted for a style way above my pay grade ๐Ÿคฃ (maybe the medium too) Validate me bsky! so I keep trying and improve.

Last evening I went to the roof to look for spiders on the mango tree... But I found a ladybug instead. This morning, while heading out, I finally found a big spider and I'm not sure how I missed it the last few days! ๐Ÿ“ Jabalpur #Macro #BackyardWildlife #่™ซ #ento #nature #Photography ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ธ ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ

What I thought was a bee sitting on mango flowers, when I was trying to photograph it, turns out is not a weird looking bee but a Lagoon Fly (Eristalinus arvorum) ๐Ÿ“ Jabalpur #Macro #BackyardWildlife #่™ซ #ento #nature #Photography ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ธ ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ
