I'm a male freshman at Harvard University majoring in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. I went to high school at Friends' Central School (where I was lucky enough to help John Gruber （http://bugguide.net/user/view/9968） with his work with geometrids and other moths), which is on the border of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I've always had an interest in zoology and the natural world. Within the past 2 or 3 years, I've become seriously interested in entomology specifically, and I've gotten a looot of lab, field, and classroom experience in the field during that time. Right now, my particular interest is in the mutillid wasps, and considering the paucity of information about them that I've encountered, anything people could teach me about them would be greatly appreciated!

I also work at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP) in the entomology and ornithology departments.
