Congrats to my research student Avee for defending her thesis, “Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) Host Specificity for Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) Oviposition at an Isolated Indiana Wetland.” Excited to see what she does next! #SMWC #ecology #pollinators #conservation

There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes! A little snow and freezing weather didn’t prevent our #sustainability class from going outside to identify and learn about #invasivespecies! #SMWC #biodiversity #SMWCscience #environmentalscience #ecology #plants

“Flagging” of #tree branches after #cicadas emerge & lay their #eggs is common. It doesn’t harm the trees & dead branch tips can be pruned, but it’s best to wait until end of August to support successful hatch & #nymph drop. Learn more: extension.umd.edu/resource/cicad… #entomology #BroodX
