Medford, OR, USA

I have a BS degree in Entomology and Ecology and have studied insect behavior for over 30 years. I have some formal training in systematics and taxonomy, assisting scientists as a volunteer on several Earthwatch projects, and helping students identify and catalog insects at the Biodiversity Institute in Costa Rica.

I can contribute to this guide through photographs and can help ID insects. I have some texts also with keys to families which will be useful in IDing specimens from photos. My primary behavioral fascination is with the Ichneumonidae which is one of the most varied and interesting families in the world.
