Insect enthusiast, birder, ecologist by training (Ph.D. EcoEvo Rutgers-NB 2015), currently trying to convince all my first-year students that biology is awesome. Enthusiastic vegetarian cook; lazy gardener.
My problem in the #garden is that when I go out to prune things back, inevitably some cool #insect will land on the plant I am working on. “Oh, if [X] likes it maybe I’ll leave it alone.”
And when this beauty fluttered in, I was convinced to never cut the strawflowers again! 😉
