About Me
Hello all! I am a hobbyist photographer and entomologist. I started taking photos of many things during my early teenage years and eventually developed an affinity for macro and nature photography. In 2021 I decided to begin using my photography as a learning tool and started tracking when and where I sighted different species. This has blossomed into a passion for entomology, and I specialize in moths and butterflies. I occasionally dabble in art as well, with a focus on mixed media and ink drawing. I also enjoy learning about culture, medicine, and psychology, though I have fewer personal qualifications regarding those topics. My other personal interests include music, video games and fashion.

My wide-ranging interests and boundless curiosity often lead me down Wikipedia rabbit holes, so I have recently decided to try contributing. Most of my edits thus far have been fixing grammatical errors, restructuring sentences, etc. I am based in the midwestern United States and am a native English speaker, so I work primarily here on the English Wikipedia.

I would love to have a Wikipedia article written about me someday, but until I accomplish something that leads to that, perhaps give these ones a read! Alternatively, you can click here to see my list of resources that I have found useful.
