A
team from N.C. State University took first place in the Linnean Games,
held in March in Baton Rouge, La. — making it the second year
in a row that N.C. State students have brought home the trophy. Dr.
Wes Watson of the
Entomology Department coached the team. Pictured are (left to right) Dorit Eliyahu,
Chad Gore, Matt Bertone, Christie Hurt, Watson, Tracy Rennie, Hope Dalton and
Juan Cabrera. The games, developed by the Entomological
Society of America, feature
student teams who are quizzed on their knowledge of entomological subject matter.
Correct answers are followed by bonus questions about entomology in poetry and
entertainment.
