I recently graduated from Brandeis University. I've done some morphological research on insects, particularly Diptera and their pupae (I enjoy being tagged in observations of them). Many thanks to those who maintain this community! Please don't hesitate to ask me questions or critique my IDs; I make mistakes sometimes.

I usually don't see comments unless you tag me.

I've worked with some others in the past to try and help people identify iNaturalist observations using these tools:

Many of my arthropod observations have been migrated along with their IDs from BugGuide.net; I am grateful for the input of countless folks at BugGuide as on iNaturalist. Before I discovered the "associated with" field I usually didn't add host plant on iNaturalist, but I almost always have that in my records if you leave a comment.

I found this from @treegrow's profile and thought it was neat to see what observations I have helped identify.
