Hey! I'm Ali, college graduate from SUNY ESF. I'm an environmental biology major who studied a lot of invertebrates during my education; mostly, I paid attention to insects (specifically hymenopterans), but I've got a love for anything without a spine!

I follow IDs of insects within the NY area and try to help with IDs that haven't gotten a second opinion yet! Sometimes I can be wrong, but I try my best to make IDs that I'm confident in.

I also sometimes go through the class-level insect IDs to narrow them down, and the IDs labeled 'unknown' to get them on the map. When I'm doing that, I tend to leave my IDs very general, usually sticking to order or family level suggestions. Sorry if I notif-spam you! Sometimes people have a lot of unknowns and I don't look at usernames as I'm going along.

Also sorry if you have a placeholder and my general ID gets rid of it, sometimes I don't see them when I'm going quickly through IDs.

My messages are always open! Feel free to say hi or ask me my reasoning for something : )
