Dear all,

I'm Ana Farinha. I've just started a 2 years post-doc in the BIODIV team at INRA Bordeaux, France (Tittle: Tackling biological invasions of forest insects: from alien species invasiveness to ecosystem invasibility). My supervisor is Hervé Jactel.

I will be working with the western conifer seed bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis), rearing it in the lab.

If you happen to see them hibernating and could be kind to catch them alive and sent me I would be very pleased (they usually seek warm places like the interior of homes during the wintertime). I will need to have a large colony by summertime.

Thank you very much for all your possible help.

Best regards,

Ana Farinha
