You seem to enjoy learning about invertebrates! I want to put in a plug for a conference I am attending called the Invertebrates in Education and Conservation conference, by TITAG (Terrestrial invertebrate taxon advisory group) Its a blast, and I have met so many cool invertebrate specialists, husbandry researchers, zoo and museum professionals, and entomologists. You don’t have to be a professional to attend, and even hobbyists are encouraged to present. If you are here already, it won’t be the first time I met a tumblr mutual at a conference, so I will see you at black lighting!

Well it is already happening in Arizona, but I'll put up some info: Invertebrates in Education and Conservation Conference - TITAG
