Biography:

All the photos I submitted up to August 2018 were taken on a three acre lot. I'm kept busy enough just photographing what I see on walks and haven't yet started to seek out species by using lights, etc. I've added several books to my library based on recommendations here, and have learned quite a bit (but not nearly enough) from Bug Guide.

I always have photos of mine that are waiting for attention for IDs and entry into the catalog I keep, but at this point I have about 85 different insects cataloged.

Here's a list of those I have not posted to BG, but used BG for identification, often with the help of others here who are generous with their time and expertise:
