This is picture 3 from a 12 picture invited series by Matt Buffington ([email protected]) at the USDA Parastitic Hymentoptera group using specimens from the U.S. Natural History Museum Smithsonian. Matt uses a system very similar to ours to photograph and stack this super tiny wasp.

The Washington Post had a fabulous two page spread about the reopening of the NMNH’s fossil hall. Which has gone up on my wall because I am a museum nerd. There’s some great stuff included in the exhibit map, with details on discussion on what to do with 3D printed bones and compounds used to repair fossils (they decided to leave them a different color so people can see what’s “real” and what’s an addition), and the discussion of how exhibit design affects perception. I love the whole thing. It also discusses how fossils can be used to show climate and its changes with ice core displays. Sweet!

Posting as I suspect it’ll be of interest to a few of you. I went behind the scenes at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. They have quite a few oddities and treasures. 

The skull in the first photo is a northern white rhino, recently extinct. (It’s resting upside down to prevent stress on its teeth.)
