Fecha de publicación: 02/12/2024 Fuente: California Agriculture Today The UC Davis Entomology Graduate Student Association (EGSA) is gearing up for the holiday season with items to “bug” you.
EGSA members design and sell insect- and arachnid-themed T-shirts and hoodies, as well as stickers. They can be ordered online at https://mkt.com/UCDavisEntGrad/.
Doctoral candidate Lexie Martin of the lab of community ecologist Rachel Vannette, associate professor and vice chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, serves as EGSA president.
Treasurer Iris Quayle of the arachnology lab of Professor Jason Bond coordinates the EGSA store.
Popular T-shirts include “The Beetles” (featuring four beetles mimicking The Beatles walking across Abbey Road) and “Bugbie” (a take-off of the Barbie movie craze but spotlighting a pink insect, a rosy maple moth,  Dryocampa rubicunda.)
Among the many EGSA t-shirts:

“Here for a Good Time, Not a Long Time” (female praying mantis eating the head of a suitor)
“Would You Love Me If I Was a Worm?”
“Hang in There: (a pseudoscorpion hanging onto a fly leg)
“Bee Haw” (honey bee as a cowboy)
“They See Me Rollin'”: (dung beetle)
“Cicada Amp”
“Whip Scorpion”

“We now have hoodies in the Bee-Haw, Whip Scorpion, and Worm designs and tank tops in the Cicada Amp and Dung Beetle designs,” Quayle says.
This is one of the T-shirts designed and offered by the UC Davis Graduate Student Association.
