🍂 Joined in 2016 to help identify dragonflies and damselflies but started using iNaturalist seriously from mid 2018.

📕 My Victorian dragonfly book is available for purchase; more info...

☀️ During summer I'm out often looking for invertebrates to photograph. During autumn and early winter it is fungus mainly but always looking for interesting organisms.

🔎 I help identify other people's sightings when I can but do make mistakes. I look at ALL dragonfly and lady beetle observations in Australia needing ID so there is no need to ping me for these. Please note that I am only familiar with south-eastern Australian taxa so usually can help less the further afield your observations lie.

😀 Have a nice day and don't forget your camera - I did once. ;-)
