#いい蜂の日 ハチの中でも特にかっこいいカマバチ科と最高に美しいセイボウ科の生きてるやつ詰め合わせ。全部彩の国産。ここ7-8年で色々と試行錯誤して撮ってるので質がバラバラなのはご愛敬。 #セイボウ科 #Chrysididae #カマバチ科 #Dryinidae

# NEW PUBLICATION# led by my friend and colleague Mark Harvey. We describe two new species of the anamid genus 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒂. Beautiful, big anamids from Australia's south coast, and there are HEAPS of new species, we are just starting to chip away at them!

The Adelaide Linear Park Bee hotels are buzzing with life! 🏠🐝One of my favourite visitors is this Ghost wasp, Gasteruption mixtum. 👻These sleek insects are on a mission, diligently searching for native bee nests to lay their eggs🕵️‍♀️ #waspwatch #beehotel #wildadelaide

Meet Gasteruption cylindricum, one of the more unique ghost wasps. Just like its species name suggests, the cylindrical body shape is perfectly designed to slip into old wood borer holes where its Euryglossinae bee hosts nest. They look out of this world in flight! #wasplove

I'm super excited to share the first chapter from my PhD! We examined 14,000 online advertisements to discover which pet birds Australians are interested in, what traits make them popular, and how this relates to the risk of new invasive species 💻🦜🔍 rdcu.be/dtNsV

As a Christmas surprise, here's a newly published open access paper, out today at Zool. Scripta: "Leveraging museum specimens, genomics and legacy datasets to unravel the phylogeny and biogeography of cryptin wasps (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Cryptini)"! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

What a treat! Spotted this stunning Ghost wasp, Gasteruption fluviale, searching the base of a massive redgum here in Adelaide for host nests. I love the elegant long neck and those cute orange-tipped antennae of this species. #wasplove #entomology #adelaideadventure

TWEETER!! 💚 If you haven’t seen all my wildlife reels this year, we just put up a compilation on the tube! New video up!! (Link in bio)! 🎥 Hope you enjoy 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Express DNA barcoding published! We combine DNA leaching, NextGenPCR, and MinION to go from specimens to barcodes in hours without breaking the bank. Say hello to fast pest identification, food authentication and species sorting in the field. doi.org/10.1111/1755-0… Oxford Nanopore

Eight new Pacific masked bees just dropped 🐝! What’s really cool about these bees is that (i) they’re mostly restricted to forest canopies, (iii) prefer for red flowers, and (ii) resolve how Hylaeus tuamotuensis got to French Polynesia! 1/16 t.ly/qiTh0

👋 Hey Phylogenomics Twitter 👋 We’re adding another tool to the kit, meet: pipesnake An all-in-one raw-reads to species tree pipeline. Written in Nextflow and designed for portability and ease-of-use. Check out the workflow on GitHub: github.com/AusARG/pipesna…

#BeeBDC version 1.1.0 is now live on #CRAN with an important new function that allows users to download taxonomies for ANY TAXA that's available through the #taxadb package! jbdorey.github.io/BeeBDC/index.h…

I just uploaded a printable meshed lid for 50 ml Falcon tubes to keep #insects in an aerated container when collecting in the field! Check it out Printables.com: printables.com/model/828801 #entomology #collection #3dprint

Very delayed, but I’m a couple of months into my role as a Lecturer at UOW with Damien Esquerre! It has been a wild couple of years but I couldn’t be more appreciative of the support from collaborators, friends, and potential employers. Here’s to renewed native bee research!

#BeeBDC v 1.2.0 is up with a new function, continentOutlieRs, that works the same as countryOutlieRs but should help people working on taxa without a country checklist or those not wanting to be so precise with that filter ☺️ t.ly/6ieSG

I have LOST THE PLOT finding my FIRST PSEUDOFOENUS!! 🤯🐝 These wasps are cryptic and can be found flying low near the ground patrolling for native bee nests 😱 They’re super hard to spot so I was EXCITED for such a good wasp day in Bendigo on the first warm day of September!☀️
