I am thoroughly impressed with Inland Sea Exotics. Fast communication, ethical and conscientious when it comes to shipping (he looked at the forecast and told me to wait to order because it would be too hot for the slings). I opted for 3rd day with USPS and they arrived to day safe, secure...
This little mustard yellow Salticid was found in Montana. I found it on mosquito trapping equipment while doing some research out in Townsend this Summer. It either rode all the way back from Townsend with me or found its way into the truck bed in Bozeman. I've kept it in a kritter keeper in my...
In 8th grade, I gave my science teacher a few stick insects to keep in her classroom. They reproduced (parthenogenetically) and she ended up giving some to a bunch of other teachers in the school. XD

It takes some practice. :P I don't know of any other mosquito researchers except for my boss whose lab I work in. We get our samples only from Montana and a couple of the surrounding states, so right now I identify about 20 species. It just takes practice and a steady hand, once you get the feel...
