I received a B.S. in Entomology from Cornell University in 2021. I am primarily interested in Lepidoptera, with a lifelong passion in collecting and rearing caterpillars, such as swallowtails, silkmoths, sphinx, and others. I grew up (and currently reside) in Albany, California, a small town in the San Francisco Bay Area, but have also lived in Ithaca, New York for four years.

Some of the specimens depicted in the observations on this account were found or collected by my twin brother, Brian, but I am the sole photographer between the two of us
