De Arachnologists har landet

OK, not an insect...

 

For de neste tre ukene mine kolleger fra Arachnology lab ved California Academy of Sciences er på Filippinene! (no, ikke sjalu i det hele tatt…) Turen er en del av CAS Hearst ekspedisjon, a massive effort spanning all of our research departments to survey the deep seas, shallow seas and terrestrial environment of Luzon. Dr. Charles Griswold brought two of his PhD studentsHannah Wood and Natalia Chousou Polydourito help collect spiders and insects. Particularly, I’m looking forward to the Lepidoptera that Natalia will be bringing back! (I gave her a quick course on field collecting moths). Sadly I’m not there to photograph and collect this diversity myself; but we can all watch enviously as the teams post updates on their progress over the next month on the expedition blog. There are already lots of great entries and images from the aquatic peoplestay tuned for the insects.
