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).

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.

Also a contributing editor on BugGuide.net.

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).
