Not much posting this week.  I've been busy getting genetic data from a new batch of specimens for the Beetle Tree of Life project, a process that's always slower than I expect.

Fortunately it turns out that the internet has sites other than mine, and some of those even have interesting things to read and pretty pictures to look at.  Here's what I recommend:

Christopher Taylor discusses the follicle mites that live in your skin.

Ajay Narendra has added some new Meranoplus photos to his ant gallery.
