Arahnologi so pristali

v redu, not an insect...

 

Naslednje tri tedne so moji kolegi iz arahnološkega laboratorija na Kalifornijski akademiji znanosti na Filipinih.! (št, sploh ni ljubosumen…) Potovanje je del odprave CAS Hearst, 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.
