I'm a biology graduate interested in all fields of biology and science in general. I love to observe the diversity and learn about all the branches of the bush of life, especially the hyperdyverse, understudied and, (in my opinion) criminally underrated, arthropods. Every form of life on this planet, from the most-well known and carismatic to the most bizarre and misunderstood, harbors an undetermined number of counterintuitive solutions to a wide variety of specific problems evolved over hundreds of millions of years. That's what makes biodiversity an invaluable source of endless knowledge once it is understood through the scientific method. Therefore, I'm happy to be able to contribute to its understanding and conservation in some way. However, I'm definitely not an expert of any sort and taxonomy is not my strength, so please feel free to correct my identifications if you know better. Any advice or info about the species I encouter is greatly appreciated. Don't think twice about leaving a comment if you find one of my observations interesting or want to know something about it. And thanks to everyone for the identifications!
