Wild to see my study group, Dryinidae mentioned in my local internet paper today, @Gothamist @WNYC @RMisdary gothamist.com/news/lanternfl…. Can confirm that none of our local species are going for spotted lantern fly out on Long Island, sadly.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve developed horrible sneezing-fits the evening and day after sweepnetting sessions. Has this happened to other entomologists? Is it some sort of pollen allergy? It’s making fieldwork not great.

Now that BioQuip is long out of business - who's selling a decent Berlese trap (either the bucket or the hanging type, don't care so long as it has the light bulb).
