Note that this is described species. Beetles are really easy to preserve and are often super cool. There are likely more species in other orders, but they haven’t had as much work done on them. Hymenoptera, for example, with all of the parasitic wasps probably has more species but they can be so freaking small and difficult to work with.
Sorry, I am like a wanna be entomologist who works with akshual entomologists and this is one of the things that triggers them
Inside sources within Asante have since disclosed details surrounding the reported deaths, per NBC5 News. It is alleged that up to 10 patients died of infections contracted at the hospital....
Obviously unpopular opinion, but I prefer one ply. The fluffy stuff always leaves lint which I think is pretty gross. I also find it more adjustable, like maybe I only need one square to wipe up a little toothpaste but I can also use three feet to wipe my ass.
Something I’ve never been that great at is spontaneous conversation. I’m more than capable of public speaking if I’ve prepared something in advance. But if someone asks me something out of the blue, I really struggle to engage in deep conversation. Afterwards I’ll think to myself damn, why didn’t I bring up X or Y?...

I’m seeing a lot of local communities that have very few or zero posts showing up when I click on them.

I just came here with the same/similar issue. I made a post yesterday but can’t find it anywhere except my, like, comments inbox (whatever it is called, the list of comments on my posts). I am using the Liftoff and Jerboa apps. My account is .world and the instance I posted in is .ml, maybe that has something to do with it? (I don’t actually understand any of this and it is a near miracle that I am here at all)
I don’t have a favorite book, but Rincewind is my favorite character. He’s just so pragmatic, like a begrudging hero. I just finished rereading Sourcery and almost cried.

Excuse me, Mrs. Wasp, on a scale of 1-10 how much do you agree with the following statements?
I put out traps baited with pheromone lures (mainly) and then go around collecting samples and checking to see if we caught what we were looking out for. Some of the samples go back to the lab and everything gets identified to make sure there is nothing new or to track how far things have moved.
