  1. Undescribed *genus* of bristletail...maybe this will be the year it gets described. Remember kids, it takes on average over 20 years to describe a new species. I was on the trip it was discovered (I was busy looking at the diplurians nearby when a friend found a not-diplurian!); and I found the second population of them as well (and there is now a third population discovered). So I'm kindaaaa emotionally invested in them getting described and out there. :boost_requested:

  2. We got to go to this incredible cave the other week to do some cave bioinventory work. Check out how impressive this vertical entrance sink is, and the massive borehole beyond!
