END OF SUMMER ALREADY? 

We are bugging out about how fast the summer has flown by! There's been a blur of hot days, big adventures and new discoveries here at The Bone Room. We hope the summer has been equally as exciting for all of you. 

 Speaking of bugging out... we've been updating our entomology section on our new website and are excited for you to check them out! You also might notice the links take you to our new website! TheBoneRoom.org, which is open for orders. In fact, if you order through our new website we are offering free shipping!

So don't be shy to give the new website a try. We're still working out some bugs (haha, have I used to many bug puns), but we are uploading items daily and soon it'll will be the official and only website for The Bone Room! 

Pretty pretty Butterflies!


Papilio blumei (above) - The scattering of bright green scales shimmer in the light and the rounded bottom tips of their "tails" on each wing is often a turquoise blue. This is probably why they are sometimes called "the Green Peacock Butterfly." They can also be called the Green Swallowtail, refering to that round end at the bottom of each wing that gives them their unique shape. 

Phoebis argante (below) - Like with many butterfly species, the male Phoebis argante tend to be much brighter and more colorful than their female counter parts. The yellow of these framed specimens are certainly striking. That yellow color is what earns them their name, the Apricot Sulfur butterfly. 

Creepy Crawly Insects...


Fulgora lanternaria (above) - This unusual flying insect has a equally unusual, but fitting common name: "the Peanut Headed Lanternfly." Like other vulnerable insects, this lanternfly has evolved a camouflage that makes it look like is has large eyes on the back of its wings. This confuses predators- hopefully- long enough for them to make their escape.

Batocera wallacei (below) - Also known as "Wallace's Long-Horned Beetle," after Alfred Russel Wallace, who first categorized this species while on the Aru Islands in Indonesia. Interesting fact about Wallace (the man, not the beetle) is that he independently of Darwin, developed the theory of evolution through natural selection. 

So Buggy! 


Cicada Shed - After spending 17 years buried in the ground, Cicadas emerge and shed their old exoskeleton, leaving behind a perfect case of their former selves! Now you can display one of those shells, perfectly contained in it's own little clear box.  

Pocket Magnifying Glass - Maybe you're hoping to go exploring and discover your own bugs. Well, why not pick up a pocket sized magnifying glass to help you take a closer look at all your findings in the field? 

Vintage Insect Puzzle - Maybe you like the idea of bugs more than the reality of bugs... Well, we have some neat bug paraphernalia like this Vintage Puzzle. 

Morpho Wing Packet - Morpho butterfly wings are so stunningly iridescent, its almost hard to believe they're natural. These wings can be used to make art, create a personalized display, or simply to study under a microscope! Each pack comes with 25 wings, so they are perfectly sharable too.

NATURAL HISTORY FOR EVERYONE GRANT 

APPLY NOW!

This month, you can send in your application for the Natural History for Everyone Grant, sponsored by the Bone Room’s Diana Mansfield. The Bone Room founder, Ron Cauble, was fascinated by natural history from a very young age. His love first really blossomed under the care of a teacher who wasn’t even his yet, Miss Willis. Ron dreamed of being in her class, filled with pinned insects, animal skulls, and reptiles. He would bring her gifts of dead moths and small birds, and she would teach him about them. Much to his dismay, Miss Willis moved before he got to be an official student in her sixth-grade class and took her curiosities with her.

It’s no wonder that Ron Cauble started the Bone Room! Over the past 30 years, Diana Mansfield has helped Ron build and care for this great collection. She now continues his legacy by supporting curious minds through this generous grant. You can apply for this grant by November 1st at the latest, and details are listed on the AAPS website linked below. We hope you all stay curious and discover something great!

"This grant is available to public, private, and charter school educators, college and university instructors, museum educators, homeschool educators, and other informal science educators. Applicants teaching any natural science discipline are encouraged to apply."

$10 shipping for all purchases. Purchases over $200 ship free!
