Lil' Dude's Insect Academy

I had the pleasure of attending the meeting in Portland OR this year and man am I pumped up about the future of entomology! We were able to have a booth again and meet so many awesome entomologists, and reconnect with some long-time friends. I also had the honor of speaking in a symposium on disabilities in entomology (recording coming soon)! This trip was so important and valuable for both the academy and my personal endeavors. See you all next year in Columbus, OH!

This week on Bug of the Week, we cover the Embioptera, also known as the webspinners! This small order of gregarious insects are unique for their ability to spin silken webs through their front legs (yes like Spiderman)! Go check this one out now, available on YouTube!
