Insect Taxonomy Field Course OUPFB 2011
For the past 2 weeks, I went to the Queen’s University Biological Station to do a Field Course on Insecta – it was mind-blowing. The experience was phenomenal and inspirational. Marvin (prof) and Dave (TA) made the course so fun + engaging. I learned alot and played a lot at the same time. It definitely brought back a lot of childhood memories of me capturing insects in my courtyard with my friends.
For anyone that wants to take a biology field course, I highly recommend this one – you will NOT regret it. Marv and Dave will show you the wonderful world of insects and my fear for those creatures definitely disappeared. I truly appreciate their beautiful existence.
Below are some of the pictures that I captured of …
