Hello, I started a GoFundMe for my fly work. Even if you can't donate, sharing around helps me a ton as well as others who are interested in doing iNat identifying work. You see, I am extremely willing to contribute to other such identification projects if I have sufficient funds. Maybe I can encourage others to do the same.

Please note that my identifications are tentative and field-based and not based on "specialist" taxonomic knowledge or experience (meaning I am not a world expert that has published monographs of anything). However, they are informed by a combination of morphological, genetic, chemical, ecological, and life history information.

I have been identifying insects by photographs online since at least 2013. I'm pretty interested in the identification of calyptrate flies, but other flies too. I hope to soon make a provisional key to genera of Anthomyiidae north of Mexico with updated generic concepts in my iNat journal.

In an effort to increase awareness about decolonizing naturalism, the vast majority of my observations take place in the land of the pre-colonial era Safety Harbor culture (called the broad sense of "Tocobaga") including the peoples Pohoy (Capaloey), Amacapira, strict sense Tocobaga, Mocoso, Alafay, Uçita, and istî siminolî or yat'siminoli (known as the Seminole Tribe).
