During the spring semester of 2017, I worked for the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology at Auburn and taught the lab section of Economic Entomology. We learned a variety of things, from orders and families of some economically important insects to pinning techniques, as well as field collection and identification by physical characteristics. I worked under Dr. Alana Jacobson, assisting her with exam and project grading. Below are some fun artifacts from the semester, ranging from insect photographs to assignments and notes.
