Last month a JoVonn Hill and a team from the MEM visited ANSP Entomology to work with Dan Otte and Greg Cowper on an U.S. National Science Foundation funded project to produce the 3rd volume of the #Grasshoppers of North America: The Melanoplinae.

Our two curatorial assistants are presenting at #ECN2021! Keep an eye out for Isa Betancourt 🦋🕷🌎 and Greg Cowper’s presentations in the “From the Cabinets to the People” symposium on Monday afternoon. 🦗🦗🦗
