Want to know about the first few insects that you'll see in the spring around BC's interior? I talked to @CadenFanshaw at @CKPGToday about it (while we were standing perhaps a bit too close to a western thatching ant hill): ckpgtoday.ca/2024/05/01/get-…

Get to know the bugs you’ll see in Prince George this spring

As things warm up, more insects will emerge! Get to know the insects on the ground and in the air you're most ...

About a month ago Dr. @LisaPoir passed away suddenly. She was a great person, an vital part of the @UNBC faculty, a curious and creative scientist and educator, and a strong contributor to @EntSocBC, @CanEntomologist, and @EntsocAmerica. She is missed. 1/2

Well, the inevitable happened: spotted lanternfly has been found and recorded in Canada (Oakville Ontario – inaturalist.ca/observations/…). CFIA and other local organizations are assuredly on it to hopefully find a way of reducing its spread, but vital for folks to watch out for more!!

It’s great to the see the @GriesLab tradition of excellent science puns and references is alive and well! Here’s two great examples from @Saif_Nayani and @sammeraj4. Also loved how often the Simpsons was worked in when explaining the “mystery” factor. #ESBC2023
