Graduate student in Zoology at Oregon State University. I consider myself an ecologist, and have traditionally been most involved with plants, but my current research is looking at how arthropod community changes in response to native/invasive plant communities and grazing, based in the grasslands of northern California.

Most of my images are of specimens vacuum sampled from the Sierra Foothills REC near Yuba City, California, and unfortunately they got rather trashed in the process, especially as we stored them in the freezer for potential tissue chemistry use. Because of that, and because I consider myself an ecologist, any help in ID is greatly appreciated.
