"Based on our study, we recommend using repellents with the active ingredient DEET if you live in or are traveling to regions with a high risk of vector-borne disease transmission. However, plant-based repellents will work just fine to prevent nuisance mosquito bites in low-risk areas, as long as you reapply them as needed." #entomology #insects #mosquitoes https://theconversation.com/not-all-mosquito-repellents-are-equal-heres-how-to-avoid-bites-this-summer-207088

New on Entomology Today: Tiny in size but fierce in defense, harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex spp.) pack a sting that will knock your socks off. Particularly effective against mammals, harvester ants' venom may have evolved to keep rodents from raiding their seed stashes. The pain from a sting to a human can last several hours—an impressive power for such a small insect. #entomology #insects #ants https://entomologytoday.org/2025/04/17/painful-fascinating-stings-harvester-ants/

New on Entomology Today: What scientists know as "mites" is almost certainly an artificial taxonomic group, according to recent phylogenetic analyses. For more than a century, the view of mites as a single lineage centered on them having a highly modified mouthpart region, but advanced microscopic techniques now reveal that many species of mites lack a key fusion of mouthparts that was the foundation for their classification. #entomology #mites https://entomologytoday.org/2025/05/07/mites-made-up-taxon-analysis-debunks-classification-acari/
