Abstract

Dr Bugs is a fictional researcher and entomologist somewhere from the southern U.S. or the EU working at La Suerte and Ometepe on insects. While we never met him (or her) in person, the answers we received are quite representative. They are covering some of the most common questions students have for La Suerte and Ometepe when it comes to insects, studying them, and what is necessary for their conservation.
