K.Wooten
I'm an amateur naturalist and entomologist from California, USA who loves basically anything found out in nature. My favorite groups are all jumping spiders, Zopherids, Dynastids, Rutelinids, Tenebrionids, and Carabids. I have been almost completely self-taught up until recently when I have discovered fellow bug-lovers. I spend most of my free time in nature. When I'm not skateboarding I am always outside learning about the plants and animals around me. I also love mushrooms, tidepool creatures, and most other arthropods.
Outside of bugs I'm an artist, skater, and traceur.
Connor E.J. Graham
Scots-Latino American coleopterist and all-around nature enthusiast, based out of Oregon, USA, specialising in the Family Carabidae, but with only little bits of formal teachings as of this time. While my mind, not unlike my desk, may be cluttered, much of what I need is still there- even if it happens to be hidden away for some time.
My interests lie primarily with the Carabidae found in North America, Europe, and North-Northwest Asia, with knowledge of a small handful of carabids found within the Neotropical and Afrotropical regions. Although I do not specialise with them, I love working with most other beetles when I have the opportunity to do so. I also have a great deal of hands-on experience with a wide variety of other organisms across North America, Scotland, England, Danmark, and Russia.
When not spending my time with beetles and schoolwork, I enjoy playing fingerstyle guitar, reading, theatrical design and theatre arts, poetry, boxing, listening to a variety of music, hiking, kayaking, travelling, fútbol, and spending time with friends, family, and my cats.
