Heyo fly folk:

I will be in Boston for an event this weekend, so we will return together on March 24th!

Heyo, fly folk!

This week, we will begin with a discussion on the future of these meetings. I have a busy summer planned, and I don't know how often we will be able to meet. After that, I start college, with less free time to plan these. One idea we can discuss is asynchronous identifying, as portrayed in a previous journal post by @edanko. I hope to see you at the meeting, but if you can't come, feel free to leave comments in the journal post. After that discussion, we can continue identifying Sciapodinae as wished.

Date & Time: 8 PM EDT on Sunday, March 24th.

Heyo, fly folk!

This week, we will be transitioning to our new format, as proposed and accepted by the regulars of the group last Sunday: Once a month (or so), we will have regular Zoom workshops, like this one. In the future, these Zoom meetings will ONLY BE ANNOUNCED THROUGH THE EMAIL LIST, so sign up now if you aren't already! In other weeks, I will post a journal with an identifying goal for you or something that I think you should think about.

Our meeting this week is also the beginning of a series on Chironomidae, sparked by some rigorous identifying work that @zoology123, @mabuva2021, and I have been doing. We will be identifying members of the genus Axarus in the Chironominae, beginning with an overview of the common subfamilies and then looking at diagnoses for this genus and its members. We hope to see you there!

Date & Time: 8 PM EDT on Sunday, March 31st.
