Hi Diane Great to "meet" y
Hi Diane

Great to "meet" you. In recent years, since I retired from other occupations, I've worked mostly on Diptera. But at heart I'm an unreconsituted general bug collector. I have a fondness for psocids and always keep a sample when I find them.

Great to "meet" you also ...
I have almost no entomophile friends locally, therefore I treasure my BugGuide friends. There are some really interesting psocids in California some so rare that the holotype is the only specimen known. I have spent the last 7 years on my "psocid book" and I discuss those there. A press has shown interest, so maybe a year from now it will be in print.

Do keep searching for 'Psocoptera'.

 
Dear =v=,
I tried to place this photo to my biography page without posting to "recent". My allotype is working on it.
