Biography:

Happily married to a another nature nut. I live in withamsville ohio with a small zoo :) i love to make the neighbors wonder why i am on my balcony at night apparently taking pictures of the wall......

Half the fun for me is figuring out what insect I have photographed. It is nice to think that maybe my pictures are actually useful to someone other than me. I am not too concerned about stuff getting frassed. Sometime I just wanna know what I am looking at. I am completely amatuer and just enjoy the wonderful variety of insects.
