It’s PHOTO TIME in TENNESSEE! ‘Bug’ photos, that is! Our department hosted our second annual UT Creepy Crawly Photo Contest from October 2nd to October 21st, 2020. All submitted photos must have been taken on the UT campus in 2019 or 2020. And they were graded from 1) Best ‘Creepy Crawly’ Photo, 2) Scariest Photo, 3) Most Humorous Photo (and new this year) 4) Scariest Photoshop, and Most Humorous Photoshop. A Best of Show has yet to be determined but will also be awarded! Stay Tuned! This contest was hosted by the students in FYS 129 (“A Bug’s Life”) and the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology! We had a great turn out this year and can’t wait for the next. May your Lens Be Filled with Bugs!
And, our votes are in: the Gnat Ogre Fly submitted by Dr. Laura Russo in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology was selected for Best of Show! Congratulations!

Most Humorous 1st Place
& Best of Show:
Gnat Ogre Fly – Laura Russo
