We’re planning some new articles, though it may be a little while before they’re ready to publish. Stay tuned! — à bientôt.

We’ve been having more and more cool days. Our annual field survey is nearly complete, and the beetles we collected in spring and summer have all been prepared as specimens and labeled.
As the last of the summer light softens into early autumn, we hope you are finding your own quiet moments outdoors — a beetle on a warm stone, a change in the evening chorus, the first hint of colour at the edge of a leaf. Whatever draws your eye, we are glad to share the season with fellow observers, near or far.
