Our collections are extensive, but our cataloging isn’t perfect. We’re getting there. Along with imaging, my project allows me the time to be able to extensively go through collections that aren’t being used for immediate research. Generally speaking, that means i’m keeping the dust from settling too much but also making sure that specimens are in pretty good shape and in archival solutions of alcohol. But today is the first time I’ve seen organisms in fishes that maybe shouldn’t be here. top photo: borrowing mayfly larvae Ephemeridae identified by Crystal Meierbottom photo: unidentified mollusksWe’ll be giving these to their respective collections here at the museum. -- source link
