If you're interested in an array of excellent topics about insects as food and feed, check out academic.oup.com/aesa/pages/… (#openaccess). It includes a lovely tribute to @DrBugAppetit as well. #insects #insectsasfood #insectsasfeed

"That inch-long, gangly-legged insect that sneaks into your house and bounces around the walls is a crane fly, and despite rumors to the contrary, it is neither a predator of mosquitoes nor a colossal mosquito. And it’s harmless." #WorldCraneFliesDay buff.ly/2jZw1c4

A beautifully preserved mantispidae specimen in the @acadnatsci Entomology Collection. Don’t we all wish we looked this good at 104 years old! .

Last summer @nature published a comment calling for regulation & oversight of taxonomy because the authors were annoyed by changing names. Today a *very large cohort* of taxonomists, including me, have responded doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio…

The filmmakers behind @InsectaMovie are exploring a new project about #genetic engineering. Are you involved? Do you have a story to tell? xitter.gq/CODEoftheWILD/status/9…
As human beings, we've never been able to decide what genes we get. What does the future look like if we could? Add your story to our project. youtu.be/btqIXcnpZ1k

With a piercing golden stare and a deep black coat, this bug is a beauty. Hailing from the mountains of Peru, this rare stick insect is among the last of its kind.

“Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair dryer has been dropped into your bubble bath. A bolt out of the heavens. Lie down and scream.” Justin Schmidt’s description of the sting from the tarantula hawk @UAEnto #UAInsectCollection
