Hey! I think I might be one of the youngest people on here; i'm only 14. I have loved insects since I could walk, and I'm really glad I found this site. Now, I can finally find out what all these insects are that I see, and hopefully put New Hampshire on the map. I am really the only person I know that has an interest in entomology, so this site is where I can share my enthusiasm for my backyard buddies with everyone else without being called weird. I like nature photography, and have entered my photos in two shows, but insect photography is what I'm best at. Overall, I love all nature. Summer is my favorite season. You can probably guess why.
I would like to say that all of my photos are cropped a lot, just to get the close-up of the insect, so if it's not super quality, it's because it's cropped, and because I don't use a fancy camera or anything. I use a Panasonic digital camera with 6 megapixels and 6x optical zoom. It was only like $200, and I think it definitely is worth the money. My dream: I want to find a huge insect! The biggest thing I've ever found was a Luna Moth in Vermont. My other dream: I REALLY want to find a Red Flat Bark Beetle (Cucujus clavipes), they are like so cool!
