I #love how #science takes me to different places. Who would have thought this Colombian girl would be traveling all over the world?! #dreamcometrue

Goodbye #Namibia! Thank u for the breathtaking landscapes, friendly people and neat animals #ICD9_Namibia #ICD9

Wow, micro-CT images of fly larvae, beautiful! 3D virtual histology by Martin Hall... non-destructive technique w/ lots of potential! #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

Full room to hear about genital appendages in Lower Diptera by @gunnarkvifte: appendages are lost or fused & phylogeny does not necessarily recapitulate ontogeny #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

Insights on #AppliedEntomology by @MAMirandaTweet: flies of heath and economic importance in the Balearic Islands, even paradise has bad flies! 😉 #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

The smelly sex live of blowflies by Nathan Butterworth: how to find a mate at a busy party? Cuticular hydrocarbons may be important by it is prob more complicated! Multimodal #communication #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

Mosquito-Feeding frogs, feeding patterns and diversity by @PriyankaDeSilv3: Uranotaenia spp partition #frog community! #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

Blowflies on #frogs by Gerardo Arias: Lucila bufonivora giving toads a hard time! The larvae accumulate at the nostrils of the poor toads. As someone that has had blowflies I can sympathize! #frogs #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

Paleobiology of #frog-biting midges by @swarmofthought: All known Corethrellids come from amber & only 9 fossil spp described #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

We need more morphological characters to refine identification of frog-biting midges by Andre Amaral & Luiz Pinho ... let’s include more genitalia characters #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

Beyond frogs eating flies, these two groups interact in multiple ways by @gunnarkvifte: micro-predators, egg predators and myasis agents @PurdueEEB #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

Join us this afternoon for the Diptera interactions with amphibians! There will be lots of fun: #taxonomy #ecology species-interactions #frogs #neurophysiology #fossils and great discussions #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

Species composition of Culicoides app, tiny flies with beautiful spots on wings, in Illinois by @MAMirandaTweet: four spp w/ Culicoides stellifer dominant, no C sonorensis... maybe trap used? 🤷🏽‍♀️ #IDC9 #ICD9_Namibia

Trapping and phenology of Tabanidae by Gerard Duvallet: many traps available for stable flies, huge variation in their efficiency!

Screen w/sticky surface trap 11,000 specimens in a day Downside: lots of bycatch including birds #ICD9 #ICD9_Namibia

Gall midges, tiny flies from a highly-specious group. Netta Dorchin: specialization leads to diversification in this group

Found a gall? Netta can tell you who made it!
