sheep_herder ★ Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted June 8, 2020 No, I only used scientific names when writing or on slides when giving a talk. Common names can be confusing when dealing with an international audience. I used the term 'slides' just to get you to think about 'old school'. Yes, the last few years our talks were all digital using Power Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge ★ Posted June 8, 2020 Share #7 Posted June 8, 2020 I was afraid you found one on your property and had a photo as proof. Those things totally gross me out. Insects with weapons should not be that large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just call them 'Bob' or 'Larry', whatever their real name is. It makes them feel valued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
