Naturalist and nature photographer. Excited about most things nature, but Arthropods are my favourite.

I have recently started focusing a lot of my attention on spiders and am particularly fond of the Salticidae and Linyphiidae families. I try to help out with local spider ID on iNaturalist and am happy to be tagged in observations. I am very much an amateur and will/do make mistakes with my IDs! Call me out if you think I've made a mistake, or would like more information on how I've arrived at an ID :)

Check out the BC Spider Team Vouchering Project! We would love for more people to be involved. Send me a message if you would like to be part of this project.

Huge thank you to all of the folks who help identify my observations!
