I had my first entomology lab today, it was just a little introduction where we went over how many orders there were (and sub-orders, cripes). We have an option of doing an insect collection or a lab final (no midterm). I’m definitely in the “insect collection” camp! It was pretty fun, even though it was just introductory and we didn’t actually do anything hands-on. As a group, we took a long (loooong) walk to the far end of the campus to check out awesome places to find insects (and there the the most fattest spider I had ever seen in my life on the plastic sheet after my TA had shook the tree to get some bugs – it’s body, minus the legs, was about the size of a toonie<\/em>). It was absolutely disgustingly huge. There were so many bugs that came out of that tree after about a minute of shaking it – including a really pretty beetle with shiny green colouring that the TA scooped up for his own research (graduate student). Entomology is definitely one class that I’ve been enjoying so far. There’s things that I like (and dislike) from all of my other classes, but entomology has my heart right now. \u2665<\/p>\n
