Shadow Box


A few years ago, I was doing some volunteer work at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. I did a few different things in my years there: I curated their modern invert collection a little bit, I brought up some of my bugs to show to little kids, and I made a beautiful display that's still being shown.

The display was made from dozens of whole spider molts and a few other critters. It's in a glass cabinet in the Discovery Room, and every time I head to the museum, the dosant working at the time will gush about how popular it is. It feels nice to know that I was able to share this with so many people.

Hello World


I finally decided to start a blog about my many exciting dealings with entomology. Setting this up took longer than I planned, so better content will come later. Until then, I'll leave you a great photo of one of my pet spiders. This is a Chilobrachys fimbriatus.
