My passion in nature is the vespine wasps, the dreaded/hated/feared yellowjackets and hornets, which are primarily found in the Northern Hemisphere. As a researcher/enthusiast I have been studying these social wasps since 1977. I currently reside in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, USA, but my travels have taken me to plenty of other States, as well as Taiwan, Nepal and South Korea to study these gorgeous and fascinating insects.

Be sure to check out my vespine wasp videos on YouTube.
