*If you have a bee species you would like added please send me a message or "@" tag me :)

I am an avid junior naturalist based in South Australia looking to get into a career in Taxonomy specialising in Australia’s bees. You'll find me roving around Adelaide's mid-north staring vacantly at flowering plants in my endless quest for the next bucket-list bee (let me be your friendly reminder to remember sunscreen).

I try to ID all the bee observations in Australia by working day-by-day, but as there are so many if you have a particular observation you want ID’d or you think I’ve missed (I check ID’s around 3-5 Adelaide time) feel free to “@“ tag me as I’m always looking for ways to skip homework. I am happy to respond to identifications to the best of my ability, however outside of Australia I will admit I have little idea. Any corrections regarding ID are most welcome.

I also generally don't leave comments to justify my ID as it takes too long, so if you want further explanation just give me a shout.

Trout fishing has led me to also have interests in Mayflies although at present out of SA I can only ID to Genus (usually).

Have side interests in native wasps, odonata, butterflies, jumping spiders, cicadas, mantises, and just about anything really.

Please Note: I am a teenager and I don't know everything, don't take what I say as gospel. I can and do make mistakes, so please correct me when I'm wrong. I am always welcoming advice and new information (especially new publications!).
