Currently I'm employed by California State Parks as a naturalist in the Santa Cruz mountains. I love to observe and collect Insects and use my experience to educate the public about the wonders of the insect world. My job also gives me permission to collect for the park, so if your in the area and world like to go out collecting drop me a line!

Currently:
Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula (Grammostola rosea)
Western Black Widow (Latrodectus hesperus)
Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches (G. portentosa)
Colony of Dermestid beetles for skull preparations..

And 3 rats =)

Mainly Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. Although I do have an inordinate fondness for decomposers of every stripe.

Biology, Environmental Education, Hiking, Fishing. In general, anything to do with the outdoors, oh and Coffee too =P.

Hey! Those ooths you sent me hatched nicely! Good to see you here too =)


Hey, that's wonderful! How many hatched?

If you could leave me feedback on Mantidforum, that'd be wonderful.
I just found this website out, it's pretty cool!

That's the first time I've ever seen one of my big hissers molt. Looks like my big male has some competition :)

Happy Birthday! ;-)

You're welcome! I'd be interested in knowing if their efforts produce any offspring. I'm not aware of anybody successfully captive-breeding them, though it may be common. I've never seen the banana-yellow form, though we get the olive with brown speckles and the honey-brown ones up here in Oregon.

Hi Peter!  Thanks for the information about the banana Slugs!  The researchers are able to make it happen now, and the yellow guys are doing great!

 Thanks for that info!  I already have a degree in Anthropology, but I've been tossing around the idea of going back to school for a degree in Environmental Studies.  If that would get me an awesome job like yours, it would be worth it!

Thank you! I love my job! To get into the field, any degree in Environmental Sciences is a great plus. After, or during that process hopefully, apply for seasonal positions as an Interpreter (Interpreting the natural and cultural resources to the public, not language), or apply as a Naturalist. This can be at any park, or stat or federal system. Once your IN, then you have access to many opportunities! Good luck!

You are so lucky to have that job!!  Environmental Education is one field I'd really like to get into.  What sort of educational background did you have to have in order to land a job as a Teaching Naturalist?

Hey, Go check out the latest pic in my gallery. The Rose Hair is molting as I type this. I just took a quick photo of it a minute ago.


12/21/2007 00:20:13
Haha, Yeah, It seems like it can take forever for them to give birth. lol

Hey, how are the hissers doing? Has that female popped yet? heh
