Spring 2022 - Monarch Butterfly
I want to thank Susan Meyers for making time to speak with me and sharing her insights and knowledge about the monarch butterflies. Susan has been an educator, trainer, and volunteer with Monarchs Across Georgia (MAG), a committee of the Environmental Education Alliance of Georgia, since 2003. She facilitates workshops and is involved with outreach programs with schools and other organizations in the greater Atlanta area. She administers the MAG’s Pollinator Habitat Restoration Grants and coordinates the Symbolic Monarch Migration for the citizen science project started by Journey North. Susan was honored with a Conservation Partner Award for her work with monarchs at the 2015-16 Southeast Regional Director’s Honor Awards Ceremony.

Fall 2020 (Halloween Edition) - Pitcher Plant Moth, Happy-Face Spider and the Ogre-Faced Spider
This edition was made possible by the guidance and expertise of the following professors and researchers.
I am truly grateful to Dr. Jason Schmidt for introducing me to the world of spiders, for providing the initial research content and for his edits to the ogre-faced spider. This edition would not have featured spiders had it not been for his enthusiasm for these eight-legged wonders. Please click here to learn more about Dr. Jason Schmidt's work.
I am especially thankful to Dr. Emily Coffey for her help compiling the segment on the pitcher plant moth. There is very little research on the pitcher plant moth, and she was extremely helpful in sharing research content, answering questions over the phone, providing feedback and images of the Sarracenia and the pitcher plant moth.
I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to Dr. Rosemary Gillespie for sharing her research, answering my questions via email and for providing edits on the happy-face spider.
A picture is worth a thousand words. My sincere gratitude to Dr. George Rodericks and Dr. Gustavo Hormiga for their generosity in sharing pictures. Their images brought the segments on the happy-face spider and ogre-faced spider to life and the slideshow possible.

Winter 2014- Honeybee
I would like to thank Sam Droege, head of Department of Native Bee inventory and monitoring lab of the US Geological Survey (USGS) at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center for his generosity in sharing his pictures with me and everyone who visits this website. His photographs allow us to have an up-close and personal view of the bees, which we would have otherwise missed.
I would also like to sincerely thank Dr. Dino Martins, renowned entomologist who currently serves as the Academic Field Director for the Turkana Basin Field School in Kenya. He was most gracious in making time to answer my questions via e-mail and he also provided the electronic link to his book “Our friends the Pollinator’.
