Over the past few years, I have really started to grow a fascination with bugs. Arthropoda is the is the largest phylum in the Kingdom Animalia. With such a large diversity of insects, arachnids, myriapods, and more, I never get bored searching for different species in my local area. One of my favorite tools that I use to identify different species is iNaturalist. I also like to utilize field guides to study identification markers and anatomy that will help me with my illustrations.
