My wife and I are a naturalist team. We have worked as ecologists since the early 2000's but have only started sharing our photos on iNat since 2019.

We take interest in all forms of nature. For iNaturalist, we tend to focus on plants and pollinators because we can photograph them. But we photograph anything that holds still and lets us get close enough to capture a photo. We sometimes use a 10x loupe held in front of the phone camera to create macro images.

Please feel free to disagree with our IDs and independently confirm them yourself. And, ask questions!
