New article published today on endangered #Hawaiian #moths! New species named after Hawaiian natives, endemic plants, and important people that contributed to conservation of Hawaiian lands, including Barack Obama and Michelle Obama! Happy we wrote it! mapress.com/j/zt/article/v…

floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/can-ha…. Awesome overview of a ton of recent research by folks in the Kawahara Lab on Philodoria, a genus of rare imperiled moths endemic to Hawaii

When Dr. Akito Kawahara spotted an ultra-rare Philodoria moth in Hawaii, the chance sighting kicked off a hunt to rediscover the eyelash-sized insects across the islands, uncovering 13 new species. 🌋🦋 But can these tiny Hawaiians survive the next century? floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/can-ha…

Check out the number of insects at this light sheet! This is how things should look

The Kawahara Lab has a new #postdoc position open to do work on #CRISPR transgenics on #Lepidoptera. Please RT and share! Link to job post: evol.mcmaster.ca/~brian/evoldir…

Here is a small taste of how Emily Khazan and I spent last week: running around, sweating, and catching lots and lots of butterflies! #FieldWorkFriday #fieldwork

My new book is out now. RT this and reply with your photos that provide a glimpse into the life of an insect. The more unusual the better. There's a couple of copies of my book up for grabs for the most interesting photos.

A recent paper in GigaScience examines the quality of 800+ #butterfly #genomes and shows how quality varies significantly. Study specifies those that may be best for downstream studies. Emily A Ellis, PhD Caroline Storer PhD Florida Museum academic.oup.com/gigascience/ar…
