I'm a biology nerd, naturalist, and wildlife conservationist in the Appalachian foothills of the southeastern United States. While I am interested mostly in the identification and photography of plants, fungi, and insects--I enjoy taking advantage of and learning from any opportunity that Nature provides me!

      Absolutely! They are actually pretty common here, but I always assumed that I wouldn't be able to ID them past genus level..so I never posted photos of them before :D That logic is terrible, I know. Anyhow, I went down a millipede rabbit hole and found that only two species occur in my area. These are pretty easy to ID due to their "ivory" appearance.

      I'm definitely not skilled in IDing leeches, but this is absolutely fascinating!

      Will this help?
