I am an ecologist and wildlife biologist and am working towards a PhD in zoology and wildlife conservation at University of Utah, specifically focusing on birds. Perhaps more importantly though I am an avid naturalist and wildlife photographer, particularly of birds, hemipteran hoppers and odonates (but also reptiles, amphibians, mammals, lepidoptera, and other arthropods): https://www.flickr.com/photos/hawk-eagle/. For almost the last decade I have been researching, documenting and photographing hemipteran hoppers in North Carolina and am the creator and author of the Hoppers of North Carolina website, a unique interactive photographic field guide and database of hopper species in NC: http://www.dpr.ncparks.gov/bugs/index.php. I am also the moderator of hoppers on Bugguide as well as here on iNaturalist.
