I'm a highschool student in Turkey and i love observing the nature. I am especially interested in Coleoptera, and my ideal goal would be to find every species within Istanbul. I mostly ID my observations based on the iNaturalist suggestions. Sometimes when its not enough to ID or incorrect, i take a guess at its order/family/genus and check the observations of that group in the area, gradually expanding the range. I am confident in my knowledge when it comes to insects, plants and birds of Istanbul, and i am still learning. I appreciate experts helping out with hard identifications!
Along with insect hunting i do bird photography. My camera is a Canon EOS 250D and my lens is a Canon 100-400mm II. I have recently aquired a guidebook about the bird species in my country, so i confirm the ID's with my book.
