Naturalist located in North East Florida. My main focus is on creating field guides and doing research on the understudied parts of life whether it be spiders, animal tracks, or a passing buttery. Unfortunately, my perfectionist self doesn't let me just "know" an area, I must learn until I'm confident I could make a guide, and the answer to that is are you ever ready? It's an endless train to learn knowledge here on iNaturalist. Please hop on and join us!

Please read my description on the species first before following the guide for a better understanding:
A Description of the Identification Factors of the Genus Latrodectus in the field for North America: A multi part series created for the description of the Genus Latrodectus
How I use iNaturalist: Firstly, submit my own observations and put in my own small help with the scientific community. Secondly, track certain species and study any peculiar behavior they may show through multiple observations. I do this with all animals, but especially Herps and Spiders. If you know anything at all like this shoot me a ping and I'll look into it.
How I Identify on iNaturalist and what I am confident identifying: All spiders in North America and all Widow species. Terns, Gulls, Herps and Fish of Southern North America are also species that I am confident identifying. Getting better identifying mammals! Remember, I make a lot of mistakes, but I go through my maverick ids frequently, so just ping me if I made a wrong id - I am experienced, but that doesn't mean I am perfect.
Ping me whenever you need help identifying anything!

Areas I have traveled: I have traveled all over in the sense of looking for animals. I have been to the West Indies to look for Jamaican Giant Anoles, The Florida Keys for Bonefish, Maine for Crab Species, and the cold creeks of New York for salamanders.
