Adventures in Entomology

Well, kinda.
I’m not getting paid, but it’s still a job. It’s sort of in between volunteering and an internship, or so it seems to me.
Today was my first day working at the Colorado Plateau Museum of Arthropod Biodiversity, AKA NAU’s bug lab. My task today was to sort through a plethora of insects from a multitude of pitfall traps (from one of their projects), separating the beetles and the spiders from the rest of the critters. Gotta say, it’s dirtier than I expected. My hands smelled like ethanol and dead stuff for a good hour and a half. Not to mention the dead mouse that wandered into the trap… thankfully I’m sick with some sort of nose and throat virus, so I wasn’t able to smell much.
It’s definitely neat though, even the elementary ‘gruntwork’ I did today. My schedule is MonWedFri, 10AM-12PM, and I even had the lab to myself for a good hour – which was awesome. 
So, here’s to science, and a possible specialization in entomology for me.

Are you in charge of the Benny Hillifier? Will the speeding up feature ever work again?
I am not. Why it’s still associated with me I will never know.
