My focus is mainly buprestids east of the Rockies, but I am studying the western U.S. fauna. I dabble into points south and overseas. I am an avid collector of many beetles in Texas. If you are interested in exchanging specimens let's talk!

Images can often be challenging and my time limited, but I'm always ready to learn where I'm falling short. You may find on occasion I make a mistake on an ID or my reasoning behind it, it happens. Feel free to point it out and share what you know. Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise, experiences and images!
