I'm naturalist and teacher Michael McAloon. I have been studying
invertebrates (spineless animals) for a number of years now and I specialize in mites
and insects. My studies have brought me to remote forests in
India and China, as well as some not-so-remote cities in Europe
and elsewhere around the world. I have trapped, netted,
collected, preserved, cataloged, touched, smelled, eaten,
been stung by, bivouac'd with, awed, and astonished by the
little creatures most of us just step over every day.
Seeking to share some of my expertise on
insects and other crawlies I hope to translate and enhance
popular and interesting articles on said creatures in this blog
- hopefully entertaining you while learning something myself along the way.
Have a story, image or news clip you would like to
share? Please send it along in a comment!
