Hi, I'm Diana, curator for Hemiptera and Thysanoptera with NHM Small Orders. My favourite specimens are on slides - like this female psyllid. To me, preparing a 1mm insect for microscope observation is the perfect junction between science and craftmanship. #Insects

Tamara Spasojevic and I are doing a joint talk together with Royal Entomological Society (June 12th 16:00 BST) about our upcoming review paper (along with Silas Bossert) on recent advances in Hymenoptera systematics.

My new paper collaborated with なみきく土也 was published in JHR!
We described a new species of rare genus Pseudalomya collected from high-altitude Taiwan and discussed the systematic position of this genus by multigene phylogeny.
