I love animals, nature, and exploring!

I am not an expert but I try my best and I'm always learning :) If you disagree with any of my ids, please let me know why so I can continue to improve. I'm least confident in my plant and flower ids.

I have a BS in Zoology from Kent State University (2010) which included several local flora and fauna identification courses. Two of my favorites classes were identifying trees in winter and identifying aquatic macroinvertebrates for water quality studies... however this was a looong time ago and I am pretty rusty.

Sometimes I crop pictures but otherwise, I do not edit them
