hello

I actively moderate hoppers (Auchenorrhyncha excluding cicadas) here and on BugGuide—mostly focused on the United States and Canada. I am an undergraduate student at the University of Delaware studying Auchenorrhyncha taxonomy in Dr. Charles Bartlett's (@delphax) lab. My interests lie in the interdisciplinary space between art and science.

An ongoing project of mine is a goal to acquire photographs of all described U.S. species of Auchenorrhyncha (and consolidate them on BugGuide). I also use the account @udel-hoppers to upload photographs of museum specimens.

You have my permission to use my images for any educational use (including on citizen science sites and boards) as long as you credit me. Otherwise, contact me.

additionally, I'm a formless basin. an endless space of things displaced; excavated and moved elsewhere. I expand endlessly, causing all surrounding surfaces to cave; collapsing into the oblivion of myself. there's no space for the dust to settle, so it will drift on forever in its increasing entropy.
