Biography:

I have been collecting and documenting Cecidomyiidae from western Pennsylvania from the late 1960's to present. My interests are the larval systematics of the Nematocerous Diptera mainly Mycetophiliformia, and have a private collection of over 1,500 slide mounted Cecidomyiidae (of all subfamilies) consisting of larvae and reared adults.
