"The naturalist suffers a pleasant nuisance in not being able to walk a hundred yards without being fairly tied to the spot by some new & wondrous creature.” (Charles Darwin)

Hi! Nature enthusiast since I'm a kid, graduated from the National Museum of Natural History of Paris (evolution and systematics), now botanist in a consulting firm in biodiversity in northern France. Always glad to learn about all kinds of life forms, thanks for your IDs!

My profile picture is the cute Linnaea borealis, named after Linné.
