Last week, some #INCSTEP members participated in the XXI Iberian Entomology Congress. The focus this year was on #pollinators! 🪰🐝🦋 Our initiative presented two virtual posters and two oral contributions! 🎓 #NameItToSaveIt #TETTRIsEU

1️⃣ Mercedes París presented a virtual poster entitled:' Challenges in creating a reference collection of pollinators'. She presented a preliminary analysis of the time spent on building our pilot reference collection at @mncn-csic.bsky.social.

2️⃣ Robert J. Wilson gave an oral presentation titled: 'Towards a national reference collection of pollinating insects in Spain', which aimed to publicise INC-STEP and other initiatives that exploit insect museum specimens! @robwilsonmncn.bsky.social

3️⃣ Sergio Montagud presented a virtual poster entitled:'Who is who in #Pyrgus? Illustrated keys for identifying Iberian species', about creating a visual ID tool for one of the most challenging butterfly genus in our territory.
