I have always enjoyed fielding IDs of mollusks and other invertebrates for friends and colleagues--it's a great way to get exposure to new species and a wider range of variation in species I'm already familiar with. Joining an online community for which this is the collective goal is a pleasure.

My wife and I are amateur birders and I am slowly delving into local fungi and flora. I appreciate any and all identification help!

My professional background is in salt marsh ecology and invertebrate evolutionary ecology.
