Self confessed nature nerd and photographer based on the Mornington Peninsula. Ever curious and always learning. Spent close to a decade exploring underwater South East Oz with a camera. Nowadays keeping dry and appreciating terrestrial diversity. Interested in all things; especially birds, butterflies, orchids, moths, sawflies and spiders in no particular order. Particularly fascinated by cryptic or rare fauna. Also Australian Mistletoe species, their relationships with their host plant, plus the birds and insects that interact with them.

Currently researching Pergid Sawfly taxonomy and reviewing observations from Australia on iNat. Apologies if I've bombarded You with any corrections. Seeking to add to the collective understanding in that group and help correct some common misunderstandings.
