Bug Squad

You won't want to miss this. When two talented entomologists/artists from the University of California, Davis, collaborate and teach classes, you'll want to see the work that their students create. And you can do just that from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov.

It's Thanksgiving Day, and as we sit down with family and friends to count our blessings, let's thank the bees.

What are you having for Thanksgiving? Turkey and all the trimmings? Well, this little jumping spider had his sights set on ambushing a delicious syrphid fly.

She was all bees-ness, this yellow-faced queen bumble bee, Bombus vosnesenskii. There she was, foraging in a bed of steely blue-purple flowers, Eryngium amethystinum, a genus that belongs to the carrot family, Apiaceae. A native bee on a non-native plant. It was Saturday, Nov.

Congratulations to four outstanding young entomologists from the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology--all PhDs to be.
