Bootcamp Idea: What It Takes to Identify a Beetle #16

I'd like to host a workshop/bootcamp that goes through the process of identifying a beetle.

I would cover the whole "life" of a specimen covering:

Collecting in the field
Processing steps at the lab
A walk-through of an identification key highlighting the structures used when identifying a carabid
Briefly discuss (with @isabetabug ) how specimens are maintained at the NEON Biorepository

Would love to hear feedback/interest on this topic!

Update (from email and in person discussions): We are going to do a beetle series with the following general outline. @Nagelle will cover the field portion of the beetle collection process @EvanWaite will cover 'What it takes to identify a beetle' @isabetabug (I) will cover the specimens at the biorepository @Nagelle will also cover the structure of the published data

I think we all need to see this for general context!!
