Finally: Luscious Bugs Appear on Luscious Bugs

Harvey met me for lunch today and got to see my office and joocee dead bugs for the first time. We took pictures because it was a historical moment.


This is how my bugs arrive out of the tube: frozen or melty-wet, semi-smashed, often dismembered and all jumbled together in a glorious pile.

I sit here for 6 hours at a time sorting bugs by order and identifying them to family.
AND I love it.

They sort of smell like food until they dry out. But not good food. Here, Phasmodea.

This is my favorite series for keying out insects.
