As in past years, the University of Guelph Insect Systematics Lab took to the pumpkin patch and came back with some new insects <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2014/10/31/trichoptera-or-treat-ent-o-lantern-2014/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What would a lesson from Thomas Shahan be without a super close-up portrait of a spider? I&#8217;m stealing Dave Walter&#8217;s phrase &#8220;Adventures in Spider Misidentification&#8221; for this one though.
