Steven and I were asked to exhibit some "critters" for UL's Earth Day (23 Apr) by Colette Anzalone, the Education Outreach Coordinator for the university's Department of Renewable Resources. We were glad to be part of such an event. It was a great success, and we got to catch up with some old friends; Will Bernard (UL - Cade Experimental Farm, crawfish complex), Jim Foret (UL Experimental Farm Administration), Dr. Wylie Barrow (USGS National Wetlands Research Center), Dr. Thomas Michot (USGS NWRC), Heather Baldwin (USGS NWRC) & Tyson Hatch (USGS NWRC).
Species exhibited were; six-spotted tiger beetle, Cicindella sexguttata, ox beetle, Strategus aloeus larvae & pupae, dung beetles, Phaneus sp. & Dichotomius sp. adults & pupae, spittle bugs - the larval stage of two-lined leafhopper (or spittlebug...), Prosapia bicincta, forest tent caterpillars, Malacosoma disstria, two types of tiger moth caterpillars (Family Arctiidae), Texas brown tarantula, Aphonopelma hentzi, Southern widow, Latrodectus mactans & brown widow, L. geometricus.
