My focus has been mainly buprestids east of the Rockies, but I am learning the western U.S. fauna and dabble into Mexico/Central America. I am an avid collector of many beetles in Texas. If you are interested in exchanging specimens let's talk!

Side note: Images can often be challenging and time limited, but I'm always up for learning something new. You may find on occasion I make a mistake on an ID or my reasoning behind it. Please point it out and tell me where I went wrong. Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise, experiences and images!
