Aurora by N. Rozell

 

On cold winter nights long ago, Harvey Gilliland of Petersburg sometimes woke to the buzz of an alarm mounted on the wall of his kitchen. He kicked off the blanket, got dressed, pulled on his rubber boots, and strolled three city blocks to the building in which he worked.

Tiny, ancient life discovered in Southeast

The wingless insect Caurinus tlagu discovered on Prince of Wales Island, as seen magnified by the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ scanning electron microscope. Alaska researchers named the insect with the Tlingit word for “ancient.”

Image by Jill Stockbridge.

In a world crawling with insects, those billions of tiny bodies fall into just 30 major descriptive groups, known as orders. That’s why Derek Sikes, curator of insects at the University of Alaska Museum of the North, was disappointed with a graduate student when she failed to identify a creature that was wandering her plots on Prince of Wales Island.

“Every entomologist should be able to ID every insect to its order just by looking at it,” Sikes said.
