Biography:

I'm a 24 year old arachnophobe turned arachno-addict with an insatiable curiosity regarding the jumping spider genus Phidippus. I also love other large and interesting true spiders and am enjoying the hobby of learning more about these amazing 8-legged critters. I am seriously considering going to school to become an arachnologist one day...so I figure this is kind of a good way to keep myself in that mindset.

I also enjoy learning about other invertebrates and spend a good chunk of my day browsing articles and poking around outside for something new and interesting to discover. I'm trying to contribute what I've learned here on bugguide because I love this site!
