Il est bon de jeter un changeup chacun en temps, and this week here is an article that is actually GOOD. Oui, vous avez bien lu ici en premier, un positive article about entomology collections. We all need a breather after that Fox news fiasco with the Michigan State collection. The Honolulu Magazine does a really great job (hey… I knew that title sounded familiar… it’s a book by May Berenbaum) and they actually seem to get it. There are some great quotes from Dr. Neal Evenhuis (pictured) and Shepherd Myers; go read about the Bishop Museum’s collections and the awesomeness of being an entomologist on one of the most beautiful places in the world. En fait, Neal, need a curatorial assistant?

What a great article – Evanhuis seems to be a real character. Have you seen his article, The “Mihi itch”—a brief history?
Aussi, I hope you and everyone else will click on the link to Olivier Koning’s photographic slide show at the end of the article – some superb images of very impressive species.
Salut Chris,
Thanks for this link – it is so rare to find any article about science that isn’t totally buggered. I’ll pass this on at work.
And Ted – thanks for the reminder about Mihi-itch. Great paper.
