Biography:

I'm a teen that has a fascination with insects. I journey out into the woods almost nearly everyday to search and see for what may bring interest to me. I absolutely love beetles, I have always wanted to become an coleopterist for the longest time now. (an entomologist who specializes in studying beetles) Hopefully soon my wish will come true!
