Invertebrates have always interested me since childhood, but it was only once I started studying Zoology at the University of Reading that I started researching and recording invertebrates properly, especially Myriapods (Millipedes, Centipedes, etc.) as I hope to devote my future research to this group of organisms.
Most of my recording efforts have taken place at the University of Reading Campus in order to expand the University's neglected species list, to which I have contributed 50 new species records.
Photography has been a very useful tool in identifying individual animals without having to necessarily collect them. It also allows the observation of their behaviour and movement which is not possible with preserved specimens.
