If you want to learn my qualifications to see if you can trust my IDs, be aware that the last thing I want is for anybody to trust them. Science is not about trust, or bowing before degrees and diplomas.

Please, don't agree with my (or anybody elses, including computer's) identifications if you couldn't make them yourself. Identify only as precisely as you can identify on your own, and no more than that. Don't press the "agree" button if you can't tell what exactly distinguishes the species from its closest relative.

All the pictures I upload are in the public domain. Release yours, too. Or else.
