Meet our students - Introducing Donovan!

Hi there! I’m Donovan Bosnich (Fig. 1), one of the new Co-op studentsworking for the Beaverlodge Research Farm this Summer!

I am a third year student at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Past jobs involved working with a lot of dead insects so I am very excited to be given the chance to work with live ones this time!

My passion for entomology started when I worked at a grape vineyard during one of my field courses. After fending off numerous crop pests in vines, I became fascinated with the diversity and life cycles of insects and decided to direct my studies towards learning more about these creepy crawlies!
