I am Interested in most fauna and flora, mainly Insecta, enjoying going bush to explore and discover. Privately study Coleoptera (Scarabaeoidea, Buprestidae); Cicadidae and Lepidoptera. Mainly publish on Cetoniinae with Chris Moeseneder, our aim to revise the Australian fauna with combination of morphology, genetics and biology to sort and describe new taxa. A collaboration with Peter Allsopp working on Australian Dynastinae and other subfamilies, particularly describing new species. Also collaborate on Cicadas and Hepialidae moths but take a lesser role in papers. Paul Kay and I are working towards establishing the larval food plants of Western Australian Hepialidae.
