About me[edit]

I have been interested in entomology since childhood; one of my earliest memories regarding insects is of a tiny moth, whom my mother thought was going to bite me, landing on my face. Despite admiring insects since then,

I never truly immersed myself in entomology till 2022. With my phone, I have been going outside, whenever the weather permits, and taking photographs of insects, and occasionally spiders, that I see. Such magnificent creatures are one of the primary reasons for my interest in the outdoors.

Although I may seem blunt — I pride myself in my ability to "tell it like it is" — I endeavor to be considerate and open-minded. You are always welcome to message me for any reason; however, I do not collect or accept specimens. My real name is Francis "Frank" Freeman, but you are free to refer to me by either that or my pseudonym. Given that you attribute them to me, you may use my photographs for any purpose, although I would appreciate being informed prior.

I sporadically update my Wordpress blog at https://ffalconer.wordpress.com/, and am on iNaturalist and Flickr under the same username as here. My email address is FrankCFreeman@outlook.com.
