Okay gang, lets get to work. Just fresh in the middle of a Was identification course through Penn State. I recommend it for you all the next time it comes around.

It’s great that he’s on iNat. I’ll try to fit the course in with my work schedule next year.

In NM, I’m waiting for Dr. Messinger-Carril to publish a bee survey from Northern NM and that should help the checklist (other wiki, I know). Hopefully, she got by catch identified and some nice wasp records. I also tried to encourage staff at UNM’s insect collection to improve digitization of records and maybe some of that will trickle over to iNat.
