Your humble host, playing with ants


David Writes:I am a software engineer living in Saratoga Springs, Utah. I am an amateur photographer, but I wouldn’t even dare call myself an amateur entomologist. My skill at identifying insects is so poor as to be an embarrassment even to amateur entomology. I prefer the term “someone who thinks bugs are neat.”All of my writing on this site is based on personal observation, internet research, and kind assistance from actual bug experts (such as the fine folks at bugguide.net). You should not take anything I say as authoritative, but I do try to be as honest and thorough as possible.You can contact me by sending e-mail to insectpodDEADBUG@shinybit.com — PLEASE NOTE: You must remove the dead bug from that e-mail before you can use it. For spam protection reasons, all e-mail sent to that address gets deleted automatically.
