Seasonal complaint

[urbpan]

Every year there's a sudden drop off of visible biodiversity in the North, as cold weather arrives and many of the insects disappear. This year was especially hard on me, as I spent one of the last weeks of the summer in Florida, where insects and spiders and large wading birds and giant reptiles are loose everywhere, all the time as far as I know

Lucilia sericata, in all likelihood.

As much as you know about insects and ecology in general, have you ever thought about doing an entomological certification like ACE?

[urbpan]

Yes, actually. Do you think the benefits of ACE certification would outweigh the expense for me?

I always get a little sad when fall promises a decline in diversity. Of course in NC I can't complain TOO much.
