Hi everyone,
I'm a high school biology teacher. I took a class on insects last summer and became hooked on the inverts. Last year, I brought predacious diving beetles and water boatman into my classroom. I prefer water organisms as they don't go very far when student "accidently" release them. (there always seem to be one). I also keep crawdads as well. This year, I want expand into non swimmers. I'll probably start with superworms and T. molitor, just because they're available and cheap. I thought it would be a good place to start. I was amazed by the wealth of information on this forum and decided to join.
I'll be going to the rain forests of Costa Rica next week for a ten days. It for a grad course I'm taking at Miami University (Ohio). I'll post any pictures of insects I come across, provided they sit still enough for me.
