Dennis has had a lifelong interest in insects. First collecting them when eight or nine, later photographing them.

My interest in insect behavior led me to video, 3-D video and high-speed video.

My interest in becoming a Wikimedia editor is to add video clips to existing pages illustrating that insect's behavior.

I have added video to the following pages:
