Hi all!

My name is Willow Lovecky, I am a PhD candidate at the University of Virginia. My research is broadly focused on nest parasites of ground nesting bees, but I focus on Anthophora abrupta! I am interested in doing some lab manipulations with Monodontomerus wasps but I am looking for some specimen to test run with. I know trap nests are starting to come in and I was curious if anyone would be willing to send any overwintering Monos they find to me (I would cover postage!). I would also be happy to send back IDs for them!

All the best,

Willow
