Biology is my lifelong love and undergrad degree. I'm also particularly fond of Australia and the American mid/southwest. Someday I'll move to SA and farm potoroos, but in the meantime I'm a freelance scientific illustrator based in California. (my profile pic is by the famous naturalist/illustrator John Gould, however)
I'm only just starting to get into arthropods and fungi, so ID help there is especially welcome.
