Announcement: Mosquitoes of Southeastern USA

Hey folks! We've recently posted a new guide by Liam Wolff (@ospr3y) for Culicidae (mosquitoes) of the Southeastern USA at https://sites.google.com/view/flyguide/species-guides/culicidae. We hope the guide helps you learn more about these important insects!

As always, there's a link to 'Identify' in the bottom left of the title slide if you want to try it out quickly on some 'needs ID' observations.

Enjoy!

July 16th - CANCELED

Hi everyone...

So sorry for the late notice: I was on auto-pilot this past week and made the most recent post without remembering that I will in fact be on an airplane during our usual time, on my way to the 10th International Congress of Dipterology in Reno, NV, next week.

I will see you on the 23rd, NOT on the 16th.

-Zachary
