KEEPING COOL
Getting too hot in the desert is no fun and is potentially dangerous. Here are some helpful hints
for staying cool and enjoying your time in Southern Arizona.
• Wear loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothing.
• Drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after heat exposure.
• Wear a wide-brimmed hat.
• Avoid hot, heavy meals, which increase body temperature.
• Tie a wet or damp bandana around your neck.
• Wet down your head and hair frequently.
• Wear sunscreen (30 spf or greater recommended).
• Drink lots of water throughout the day. Beverages with electrolytes may also be helpful.
If you experience any symptoms of heat exhaustion, stop any physical activity immediately,
let someone know what is happening and find a place to cool down. Symptoms can include:
headache, excessive thirst, nausea or vomiting, weakness, faintness, dizziness, confusion, or
lethargy. Remember, if your lips are dry you haven’t been drinking enough water!
ABOUT COLLECTING
It is your responsibility to comply with state and federal regulations if you plan to collect while in
Arizona. If you plan to collect in Mexico, contact USDA well in advance. Bringing live or dead
specimens across international borders without proper permits is illegal.
• If you choose to collect, please make responsible arrangements to transport your live
animals. Please practice responsible collecting procedures and follow collecting restrictions
in designated areas. Collecting is at the discretion of any trip leader based on prevailing
conditions.
BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR
The Conference continues to grow and with success comes additional concerns. Your
contribution to the Conference is significant and your cooperation makes the event go smoothly.
• Please wear your Conference name tag throughout the weekend.
• When in the field, do not harass snakes or any other species. Remember that collecting
vertebrates is strictly controlled and requires permits.
10
• Please practice respectful collecting etiquette. This includes but is not limited to:
returning rocks, logs, cow patties, etc. to the position in which you found them; treading
lightly when not on established paths; asking permission to collect at other people’s black
light sheets and taking responsibility for keeping live animals cool when in the field.
• If you see people engaged in disrespectful collecting, please notify a leader, conference
organizer, or interrupt the behavior yourself. If someone needs information about a
collecting practice, please provide the information.
• Dogs are not allowed at any conference event.
BioQuip Bugs will have both live and
preserved arthropod specimens available for sale.

Oklahoma! Where the Bugs Crawl and Fly Across the Plain!
Doug Taron
We’re not really going to Oklahoma, but our travels will take us east of Rio Rico and will include
the San Rafael Valley where the 1955 movie version of the Rogers and Hammerstein musical was
filmed. Our route will cross riparian areas, desert hill, and grasslands. Butterflies! Tiger Beetles!
Painted Grasshoppers! Velvet Ants! Dung Beetles! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. It’s a critics’ favorite!
It’s also a beautiful time to see the diverse invertebrate fauna of southeast Arizona. Car caravan,
responsible collecting allowed.
7:15am - 5:00pm
Southwest Swing-N-Sweat
Zack Lemann
Nothing compares to looking for bugs in southeastern Arizona’s diverse and gorgeous landscape
once monsoon season starts. Whether it’s your first time to the area or you’re an old han…er,
tarsus, the lure of finding the large and the lovely among the shrubs and spines is ever so strong.
Come learn why the canyons and deserts of this land have such ardent devotees; explore, collect,
chat with other bug geeks. Could you have a better day?!
7:30am - 5:00pm

CROWD SCIENCE CENTRAL
(Moderator: Lou Perrotti, Roger Williams Park Zoo)
13
8:10am - 8:30am
Bumble Boosters: Engaging Citizen Scientists in
Pollinator Research and Conservation
Louise Lynch, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Alarming reports of global pollinator declines have
initiated numerous research studies to determine the
causes and impacts of these declines and how best to
conserve these species. Insect pollination in particular
impacts humans on a daily basis. Bumble Boosters,
a University of Nebraska-Lincoln program, seeks to
provide opportunities for citizens to contribute to
these research pursuits. This presentation will detail
what educational programming has been designed to
teach the public about the science of pollination and
engage citizen scientists in pollinator research and
conservation.
8:30am - 8:50am
Pollination to Plate: Teaching Pollination Systems
Knowledge through a Mobile App
Doug Golick, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
The Pollination to Plate (P2P) mobile application
teaches pollination systems thinking through a matching game. This mobile application targeted
at ages 14-Adult, is available for free from iTunes and Android stores. The presentation will demo
the application, its uses, and results of a recent research study exploring the impacts of the P2P
app on undergraduate students' understanding of pollination processes and foods derived from
pollination services.
8:50am – 9:10am
Bioscans: Connecting Keepers, Wilderness and the Community
Patrick Honan, Museum Victoria
Melbourne Museum displays more than 90 species of invertebrates, many of which are collected
from the field. One of the great advantages of being a keeper at the Museum is the opportunity
to participate in field trips, including Bioscans. Bioscans are rigorous biodiversity programs
organized by Museum Victoria and Parks Victoria. Numerous staff, volunteers and other
enthusiasts survey some of Victoria's most iconic and animal-rich national parks. They are an
opportunity for keepers to work in the field with up to 80 researchers and bring the wonder of
invertebrates to schools and the local community.
14
9:10am – 9:30am
United Butterfly Recorder: A New Take on a Standard Practice
Nathan Brockman, Iowa State University's Reiman Gardens
Unified Butterfly Recorder (UBR) is an Android app that provides butterfly researchers and
enthusiasts with a tool to use in the field to efficiently record butterfly sighting data. It was
designed by a group of computer engineering students at Iowa State University in collaboration
with the Entomology staff at Reiman Gardens. The purpose of the app is to allow the user a
quick and efficient method to collect data across a variety of survey protocols traditionally used
by researchers and citizen scientists in the field. Not only is UBR useful for field research, it also
has applications in STEM education.
9:30 am – 9:50am
Butterfly Monitoring: Twenty-five Years of Citizen Science in Illinois and Beyond
Doug Taron, Chicago Academy of Sciences
In the late 1980s, The Nature Conservancy began using volunteers to collect quantitative data
on butterfly populations in Illinois. The program emulated the British Butterfly Monitoring
Scheme. In the ensuing 25 years, the program has seen tremendous growth, has been transferred
to the Chicago Academy of Sciences, and has been emulated in a growing number of states.
Changes in technology over the course of the program's development have allowed for improved
communication, improved data storage, online data entry and digital mapping. Availability of
the data for analysis by various researchers is increasing, and growth of the program continues.

HAPPY SNAILS TO YOU
(Moderator: Erin Sullivan, Woodland Park Zoo)
10:10am – 10:30am
The Tahitian Shell Game
Bob Merz, St. Louis Zoo
A summary of the history and status of Partula, the endangered genus of land snail. This
summary will also update the status in captivity, and detail the international effort to maintain
several species in this genus and reintroduce them to their homeland.
10:30am - 10:50am Chronicles of Ex Situ Springsnail Management at Phoenix Zoo’s Conservation Center
Stuart Wells, Phoenix Zoo
Each of the 14 springsnail species indigenous to Arizona is in decline. Two species San
Bernadino Springsnail (Pyrgulopsis bernadina) and Three Forks springsnail (Pyrgulopsis trivialis)
15
are listed as Endangered. Phoenix
Zoo began working with USFWS
and AZGD in 2009 to develop a
ex situ management program that
maintains springsnails outside
of their natural habitat. We will
present the challenges, and lessons
learned toward developing an ex
situ management program for
springsnails using Page springsnails
(Pyrgulopsis morrisoni) as a surrogate
species.
10:50am – 11:10am Developing Captive Ex Situ
Populations of the Endangered
Chittenango Ovate Amber Snail Novisuccinea chittenangoensis (Succineidae: Pulmonata:
Mollusca): For Population Augmentation in New York State
Cody Gilbertson, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry
The endangered Chittenango ovate amber snail Novisuccinea chittenangoensis (Mollusca:
Pulmonata: Succineidae) (COAS) is known from only one locality: the spray zone of one side
of the main waterfall at Chittenango Falls State Park (Cazenovia, New York, USA). The main
goal of my research is to facilitate COAS's removal from the Endangered Species List by: (1)
examining distribution of Succineidae within New York State (i.e. indicating future sites for
COAS translocation); (2) determining captive diet for COAS, measured using comparisons
of fecundity, and growth rate; and (3) measuring parameters for differences on the side of
Chittenango Falls where COAS doesn't live.
11:10am – 11:30am
AZA and TITAG: How’d I Get Here, What Am I Doing and Where Am I Going?
Glennon Frei, St. Louis Zoo
Institutions at IECC that are affiliated with Zoos are familiar with AZA and the many and ofttime confusing facets it encompasses. For those not affiliated and who have attended the IECC
Conference there has been an entity that has existed on the conference periphery, but are unaware
of what its role involves. Many know who TITAG consists of but not necessarily what the group
is, what it does and how it fits in as an organization at the IECC. This paper will try and explain
its structure, goals, actions and my personal experiences and development over the last 6 years.
11:30am – 11:50am
Growing Mussels in the Desert
Stuart Wells, Phoenix Zoo
16
According to archeological history and recent AGFD observations, the former range of the
California Floater (Anodonta californiensis) within Arizona included the Colorado River Basin
and Rio Yaqui Basin, which comprise nine rivers. Now the California floater is restricted to the
Upper Black River drainage of east-central Arizona. Three years ago Phoenix Zoo’s Conservation
Center began working to develop an ex situ husbandry protocol for this species, in hopes of
producing a breeding group that would produce mussels for repatriation. We developed a novel
floating habitat that submerged the mussels within one of the Phoenix Zoo’s lake allowing them
the ability to feed and produce larvae on their own. We present successes, lessons learned and
information gained from this endeavor and provide status of the current population located at
the Phoenix Zoo.
11:50am – 1:30pm — Lunch (provided) – San Cayetano Restaurant
WORKSHOP
1:30pm – 5:30pm - San Pedro Room
Forensic Entomology
David Faulkner, Forensic Entomology Services
Forensic Entomology applies the study of terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates, primarily insects,
to the criminal justice system to assist in answering questions relating to death investigations.
This short course will cover both civil and criminal cases and present a number of actual instances
where insects were used to determine a minimum Postmortem Interval (PMI), movement of a
body following death, and condition of a victim after death. The remainder of the workshop
involves the processing of a "crime scene," collection and processing of evidence, and the
identification of insects gathered. Finally, a rough postmortem interval will be established
that will give a minimum time for the initial insect infestation on the body. Materials for the
class will be supplies, although personal inset collecting equipment may be used. A fun and
educational time will be had by all, except for the "victim."
5:30pm - Insect Trivia Contest — Poolside
FIELD TRIPS
Trips depart from the Sierra Madre Room
1:30pm – 8:00pm
Border Bugs
Jim Melli, San Diego Museum of Natural History Just north of the border are the beautiful and mysterious Pajarito Mountains. The diversity of
habitats, unusual plant and animal life and spectacular scenery make this a special place to hunt
for bugs. We will travel Ruby Road, stopping here and there to sample for bugs and whatever else
we can find. We may see exotic Mexican species that are rare on our side of the border. If we are
in the mood, we can set up a Bioquip black light at dusk, kick back and see what comes in.
17
7:00pm – 11:00pm
Backlighting
Mark Deering
Like bugs...bugs that stalk the night? Then this trip is for you! We will be venturing out into
some of North Americas richest arthropod habitats in search of great critters. Some we will
find at the lights, some on the roads and some on the vegetation. This trip will encompass two
stops with lights set to attract insects; participants can also look about for nocturnal arthropods
roaming about. Expect some fantastic beetles, moths, centipedes, tarantulas, scorpions, solpugids
and more! Bring a good flashlight and your enthusiasm....we'll do the rest! Collecting will be
allowed, but it is always a good idea to show off your catch before bagging.

HUSBANDRY AND NATURAL HISTORY, FIRST INSTAR
(Moderator: Barbara Reger)
8:10am – 8:30am
Raising Dragons: Managed Care and Breeding of the Dragon-Headed Katydid (Lesina
intermedia) at the San Diego Zoo
Ester Chang, San Diego Zoo
A regular import from Malaysia for many years, this incredible insect has stumped rearing
professionals in its seeming unwillingness to reproduce in captivity. This paper is a treatment of
all aspects of managed care for the dragon-headed katydid, covering everything from oviposition
preferences and egg incubation to rearing techniques and diet trials.
TITAG
SILENT AUCTION
Each year, TITAG organizes the silent auction at the IECC. The proceeds go
towards the TITAG Small Grants Program, which funds invertebrate research and
conservation initiatives. Previous recipients of the Small Grants Program have aided
invertebrate managed care programs, supported invertebrate educational outreach,
and helped human communities thrive in proximity to valuable invertebrate
resources. We appreciate every contribution to this important program.
18
8:30am – 8:50am
Conclusions from Three Feeding Studies on Two Mantid Species, Popa spurca and Tenodera
aridifolia
Bob Merz, St. Louis Zoo
Three similar studies conducted on the African twig mantis Popa spurca and Chinese Mantis
Tenodera aridifolia explored the effects of food quantity and feeding frequency on development,
longevity, and fecundity of the two species. All three studies suggest that feeding mantids more
and/or more often in all stages of development and maturity results in increased viability as
measured by ootheca production, life span, and rate of survival to physical maturity.
8:50am – 9:10am
Naturalist Butterfly Feeders at the Philadelphia Zoo
Ray Mendez, Work as Play
We designed and created an indoor educational butterfly exhibit for the Philadelphia Zoo that
represented the edge of a cocoa plantation. Rather than having the butterflies feed off of "plates"
we designed/built feeders that look like cocoa pods. This paper will cover the goals of the exhibit,
the design process and pictures of the final exhibit. In addition we will cover formula and
nutritional content of the food used in the pods including photos of a cocoa pod feeder. We
will also describe efforts and eventual success at having butterflies come to the pods and how the
butterflies taught other newly emerged butterflies to do the same.
9:10am – 9:30am
Captive Breeding and Husbandry of the Golden Orb Weaver Spider (Nephila inaurata
madagascariensis) at Woodland Park Zoo
Sue Andersen, Woodland Park Zoo
Orb Weaving Spiders have long been a desired addition to any insectarium, and the Golden Orb
Weaver Spider (Nephila inaurata madagascariensis) is an especially charismatic and showy species.
One of the few spiders that is often kept in open exhibits, this species helps teach important
lessons in arachnid biology, the importance of the ecological niche these predators play, and
avoiding human-wildlife conflicts to the public. In this paper, we will examine not only the
general biology, natural history, and life cycle of this spider, but we will look at the variety of
enclosures, breeding methods, and various methods used in egg case and spiderling care. We will
also survey some of the other fascinating species in this amazing genus of giant silk spiders.
9:30am – 9:50am — Break - Please visit the Exhibit Hall

19
9:50am – 10:10am
Screwing Up Equals Smartening Up: Starting an In-House Rearing Program at the Cockrell
Butterfly Center
Lauren Williamson, Cockrell Butterfly Center Economic pressures cause institutions to do radical things. This may include, but is not limited
to, starting an in-house rearing program to save on butterfly importation costs. Warning:
such actions can lead to sweat, tears, sleepless nights, short fuses, and starving caterpillars. The
Cockrell Butterfly Center will share their mistakes, frustrations, and eventual successes in their
pursuit of happy, healthy, home-grown butterflies.
10:10am – 10:30am
Captive Management and Reintroduction of the Salt Creek Tiger Beetle, Cicindela nevadica
lincolniana (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium
Sarah Jenkins, Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium
The Salt Creek Tiger Beetle, Cicindela nevadica lincolniana (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE),
is one of the rarest insects in North America. The SCTB has been federally protected under
the Endangered Species Act since 2005. Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium has been
involved in the recovery team for this species since 2011. This presentation will explain the
methods used for the captive propagation and rearing of the SCTB.
10:30am – 10:40am
Velvet Ants: A Quick Overview of Nature’s Fuzziest Wasps
Zack Lemann, Audubon Butterfly Garden Insectarium
Velvet ants are in fact a family of solitary wasps in which the wingless females are sometimes seen
walking quickly about the ground. Often large, notably hairy, and colorful, these insects are
attractive exhibit animals for bug zoos of all sorts. Although very few details are known about the
life histories of most species, and captive propagation is virtually unheard of, adults can live for a
year or more. This presentation will briefly review natural history, collection, and display of these
gorgeous and wondrous wasps.
10:40am – 11:00am — Break - Please visit the Exhibit Hall

WORKSHOPS
1:30pm – 4:30pm - Santa Cruz Room
Close Quarters: Invertebrate Exhibitry,
Part I
Jim Melli, Paige Howorth, Ester Chang: San Diego
Natural History Museum and San Diego Zoo
The Terrestrial Invertebrate Taxon Advisory
Group (TITAG) is a trusted resource for
invertebrate exhibitry, and this workshop will
take an in-depth look at exhibition styles and
potential display fabrication. Over two days
and five hours, we will cover tips and tricks for
exhibition, including fabrication of enclosures
and “furniture,” and selection of lighting and
plants. An extensive list of resources that will
encourage further development of these skills, as
well as purchasing options, will be explored.

No Small Matter: Getting Involved in Invertebrate
Conservation
Mitch Magdich, Lou Perrotti: Toledo Zoo and Roger Williams Park Zoo
For many invertebrate programs at zoos, universities and other organizations, a local or regional
conservation program can really connect communities to their own backyards. Indeed,
invertebrate conservation programs have the potential to bring more interest to poorlyunderstood taxa, while having a significant impact on species survival. Program development and
implementation have several factors with which to contend, however; chief among them funding,
labor and space. This workshop will cover the dynamics of existing invertebrate conservation
programs overseen by the Terrestrial Invertebrate Taxon Advisory Group (TITAG), and explore
opportunities in need of attention and ways to get involved.
EVENT
7:00pm – 11:00pm - Calabasas Campground

IABES: Past, Present, and Future
Lauren Williamson, Cockrell Butterfly Center
The International Association of Butterfly Exhibitors and Suppliers (IABES) will be giving a
short state of the organization address. This is a great time for present and future members to
come and learn the benefits of the organization, address any concerns they may have, and pose
questions to the presenters and present board members.

The Possible Last Flight of the Monarchs
Enzo Moretto, Butterfly Arc
One of most famous butterflies is the Monarch of North America, Danaus plexippus plexippus,
an icon at the global level for the spectacular migration. What drives these butterflies to migrate?
It is with this question that an expedition started from Esapolis and organized by the Butterfly
22
Arc (Italy), famous for the first Italian butterfly house in Montegrotto Terme, sought to deepen
by visiting the monarch's overwintering sites. But once there they realized that one of the most
spectacular wonders of life, that survived millions of years of climate and environmental changes,
is now on the brink of a possible extinction.
8:50am – 9:10am
Butterfly Imports into the USA: What a Difference a Decade Makes
Michael Weismann and Richard Cowan, Kallima Consultants, Inc. and LPS LLC
During the last 10 years, importation of butterfly pupae into the USA for public exhibits has
changed drastically. Once every exhibit imported their pupae shipments individually, paying
separate shipping and inspection fees for each package. Today, 90% of the pupae are imported
via LPS LLC in Colorado, arriving at the exhibits with interstate permits. We will describe
the journey that these shipments take today
compared to only a decade ago. Although we
couldn’t have predicted these changes, we will
nevertheless attempt to “look into the future”
at trends, and discuss concerns that might
affect the industry over the next decade.

POLLINATORS TEACH AND OTHER OUTREACH
(Moderator: Jamie Sincage, Disney’s Animal Kingdom)
9:50am – 10:10am
Bees Behind Bars: Vocational Beekeeping Training in Prisons
Erin Ingram, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Education and vocational programs within prisons have been associated with improved behavior
and reduced rates of recidivism. Unfortunately, due to security issues and funding concerns,
inmates have limited access to formal and informal learning opportunities. In order to address
this issue, an educational and vocational beekeeping training program was established in 2013
at Lincoln Community Corrections in Lincoln, Nebraska. The aim of the project is to provide
meaningful science education in combination with vocational beekeeping skills to inmates and
prison staff. This presentation will include logistics, funding, and impacts so far.

The Center for Native Pollinator Conservation: One Zoo’s Journey Around
the World with Native Bees
Ed Spevak, St. Louis Zoo
The Saint Louis Zoo’s Wild Care Institute Center for Native Pollinator Conservation (CNPC)
focuses on the importance and diversity of native pollinators for the maintenance and survival of
wildlife, ecosystems, and agriculture. The goals of the Center include: educating people about the
importance of pollinators for the plants and wildlife around them; developing and supporting
local, national and international collaborations to develop pollinator conservation programs and
research; and advancing our understanding and appreciation of native bees and other pollinators
This paper will describe the CNPC’s pollinator conservation efforts ranging from the zoo campus
to the international community.
10:50am – 11:10am
Nevada Bugs and Butterflies: Celebrating the Invertebrate Diversity of the Great Basin and
Sierras
Kevin Burls, Nevada Bugs and Butterflies
Nevada Bugs and Butterflies is a science education non-profit, dedicated to giving kids handson experiences with science and living things to cultivate love of the natural world and local
environmental responsibility. We operate a seasonal butterfly house, stocked only with native
Nevada butterflies, located on a 1-acre permaculture farm north of Reno, Nevada. We also offer
educational outreach events to schools, youth groups, and public events in the northern Nevada
area. This talk will outline our programming both at the butterfly house and at outreach events
and collaborations we have with other Reno institutions.
11:10am – 11:20am A Pollinator Celebration! Telling the Story of Pollinators at Disney’s
Animal Kingdom
Jamie Sincage, Disney's Animal Kingdom
Pollinators are essential to our environment. Nearly 70% of the world’s flowering plants,
including two-thirds of the world’s crop species, depend on pollinators. The United States alone
grows more than 100 crops that either need or benefit from pollinators. With the decline of
many species of native bees and the drastic die off of domestic honey bees, it is more important
than ever to spread the word on how significant this group of invertebrates is to our lives. In
2012 Disney’s Animal Kingdom held its first “Pollinator Day” guest event which was a huge
success and has now been added to a list of yearly park celebrations. This paper will discuss what
message points we shared with our guests and the resources used to develop and deliver our
celebration.

Jim Melli, Paige Howorth, Ester Chang
The Terrestrial Invertebrate Taxon Advisory Group (TITAG) is a trusted resource for invertebrate
exhibitry, and this workshop will take an in-depth look at exhibition styles and potential display
fabrication. Over two days and five hours, we will cover tips and tricks for exhibition, including
fabrication of enclosures and “furniture,” and selection of lighting and plants. An extensive list
of resources that will encourage further development of these skills, as well as purchasing options
will be explored in this last of two sessions.
