The conversation explores the concept of sociality in insects, particularly focusing on non-eusocial species, and the unique behaviors exhibited by these beetles in their natural habitat. Clara shares insights into her research methodologies, findings on social dynamics, and her academic journey leading to her current studies at the University of Virginia. Clara emphasizes the importance of "basic" research and reflects on her early inspirations in science.Join our community on Patreon! https://patreon.com/Lildudes?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkLil Dudes Insect Academy is a non-profit dedicated to teaching the world about the amazing world of Insects (Entomology).
