Biography:

B.S. and M.S. in Entomology from University of Florida.
I have a strong interest in Carabidae (especially Cicindelids), Cleridae, Cerambycidae, Coreidae, and Hymenoptera.
I have worked with urban insects including ants, cockroaches, and termites. I have also worked with citrus pests.

Photog. equipment: Canon 20D. Canon 100mm macro lens. Adorama Macro ring flash. Some earlier shots were taken with a Canon elph.
I can strongly rec. the canon slr gear. The ringflash is a pain sometimes. It is not appropriate for shiny/black insects or strong enough for smaller subjects.
Some excellent references:
Pearson, Knisley, Kazilek. A field guide to the Tiger beetles of the US and Canada
Choate, PM. Florida and Eastern US tiger beetles.
Knisley. Tiger beetles of the South Atlantic States
Coreidae of Florida: Baranowski, Richard M
