Hi y'all!
I'm a zoology / enviromental science student with a fascination with our planet's alien-like biodiversity!

🪲 My focus is on a wide range of invertebrates and herps, particularly those of the tropical disposition.

🌿 I also love pantropical epiphytes, my favorites being miniature epiphytic fern genera such as Microgramma, Elaphoglossum, Davallia, etc.
As a terrascaper, I [attempt to] grow many of these, as well as other rare tropicals and epiphytes: miniature aroids, Piperaceae, Malaysian Rubiaceae, and Melastomataceae, bryophytes, aquatics, natives, Marcgravia, Begonia, Selaginella; and anything else that piques my fancy!

🌋 Currently stationed in the Barva/Poas Volcano biocorridor in CR, documenting this incredible cloud rainforest and loving life.
I'm doing my best to make my way down to Central/South America for good.

📷 My photos are primarily taken with Canon Rebel t7i or iPhone SE2

🪴 If you are interested in following my terrascaping art, wildlife photography, expeditions, or my other biology-related projects, I [sometimes] post my work on instagram:
