Biography:

Since I was a child I have loved insects. This has evolved into a life-long pursuit of studying them and the ways they can benefit humanity. I have a special interest in wasps, and during the course of 2011 have found that a symbiotic relationship can be formed between us and them. For me and a friend who tried the same experiment, we found that they are very efficient at removing pest insects from crop plants. Because of this we are able to grow tomatos, peppers etc. without the use of pesticides. This website has been essential in helping me to identify the insects I am studying, I would like to help others do the same.
I am an amateur with no degrees in entymology, biology or animal behavior.

Be Well and God Bless,

Mamata
