Hi!

I work at the Missouri Botanical Garden. I "specialize" in plants over anything else, but I'm becoming more and more interested in pollinators and trying to take pictures of elusive bugs.

I work primarily with Convolvulaceae, particularly Evolvulus, which I have come to really love.

For my identifications, I'm trying to stick to Missouri and nearby states, and for now I'm doing what I know: plants only.

Here are some things on iNat that I am really interested in at the moment:

A possible Cecidomyiidae rosette gall on E. sericeus: https://www.gallformers.org/gall/5810 | iNat Observations: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?verifiable=any&place_id=any&field:Gallformers%20Code=e-sericeus-rosette-gall | Tropicos page for E. choapanus, which I believe was named by looking at specimens of E. sericeus with these galls: https://tropicos.org/name/50145713
