Biography:

I'm mostly a plant identifier on iNaturalist (especially Penstemon). Right now, my main use of this account is to upload pictures of species not previously documented in New Mexico or on bugguide. Most pictures come from my home garden, which has more than 100 species of native plants attracting and supporting 1,500 species of insects. I may also post interesting specimens that I encounter as an entomological volunteer at the University of New Mexico Museum of Southwestern Biology Division of Arthropods.
