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.
