TOJGIF2

The “Haunted Soils” Exhibit at the 2019 Great Insect fair came with a soil-dweller search. Participants crawled through the tunnel and found soil-dwelling arthropods such as spiders, millipedes, and ant nests.

PSU Graduate students Fhallon Ware-Gilmore (left) and Mario Novelo Canto (right) heading the “Mosquito Biology” booth at the 2019 PSu Great Insect Fair. Ware-Gilmore can be seen flipping through a fact sheet on vector control that includes updated information on mosquito-vectored diseases and how to prevent them.

TOJGIF4

Inside the Haunted Soils. A 2019 PSU Great Insect Fair participant can be seen crawling through the tunnels. They are about to uncover a glow-in-the-dark collembollan and centipede.

TOJGIF6

Young Great Insect Fair participant tests whether male mosquitoes really don’t bite. Spoiler Alert: they do not.

Figure 1

Females of most bee species have specialized pollen collecting hairs on their legs or underneath their abdomen to carry pollen from flowers to their nest. The different pollen species (note the different colors) collected by these bee species likely differ in protein:lipid ratios (P:L) that they are adapted to eat. Bee species: L - Nomia amabilis collected on Rafnia elliptica; M – Megchile discolor collected on Acacia karoo and Grewia robusta; R – Amegilla aspergina collected on Morea inclanata.

Figure 2

Plant family and bee species average P:L values. Circles represent plant families, and diamonds represent bee species. Note how the bee species differ in P:L values of the pollen collected. This may be because they have different nutritional preferences and therefore differentially collect pollen from locally available flowers to balance their diet.
