The Amphibian Foundation's Frog Blog

Chelsea Thomas, one of our dedicated interns working with culturing our invertebrates and live food, gave an amazing talk on the benefits of insects as human food. The Atlanta Science Tavern lecture, presented to a full house at Java Vino was captivating as evidenced by the array of enthusiastic questions presented by the audience and the 'bug buffet' Chelsea provided after her talk. She really hit it out of the park with her knowledge, enthusiasm and presentation of the material.

These tasty little worms are offered to Frosted Flatwoods Salamanders (Ambystoma cingulatum), and gobbled right up. We currently culture 2 species of flight-less fruit fly, 4 species of roach, 3 species of isopod, 3 species of annelid, and we receive 17,000 crickets in the mail every other week from @premiumcrickets Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm #livefood #invertebrates #lumbriculusvariegatus #Blackworms #Ambystoma #Ambystomatidae #Ambystomacingulatum #AmphibianConservation
