I've a fun, short piece out from the npub1hgr7umlexec6xmg89w2u75ajlqt5dhmql8jdue09pgj5zzdzh2zqw92e7r (npub1hgr…2e7r) magazine, about a crew of volunteers that have been going out every week, for about 15 years, to count all the crawling, flying critters they can find.

So far they've identified almost 3,000 species of insect including over 50 bees, 345 flies, and over 500 different beetles. https://www.texasobserver.org/insect-lbj-wildflower-valerie-bugh-austin?utm_campaign=mastodon
