Dr. Barbara Hayford and Dr. Kelly Dillard, Professors at the Wayne State College, Wayne, Nebraska, have expanded the core canvasses of the past exhibition with scientific illustrations by Sara Taliaferro, Lawrence, KS (including many of larvae I study, for my manuscripts) and Tierney Brosius of Augustana College, Illinois. Thus we have a third U.S. iteration of the ‘Facing up to Beetles’ which opened October 3 and will run until December 18, 2018. The exhibition materials are actually showing at three separate locations and will rotate around town. During their homecoming weekend, >400 visitors learned about these beetles and beetle art! It is tremendous dedication on Hayford’s part because her expertise is in Diptera, especially chironomid midges and Mongolian biodiversity. I am grateful for the effort to promote beetles.
