Naomi (she/her). I'm a UCLA computational biology student who likes going outdoors. Mainly into herps and fish, but I just love learning about all the things I see outdoors. If somehow I ever take a picture you like enough that you want to use, please just credit me and let me know, I'd love to check out the article or paper it becomes a part of.

These are some of my favorite observations of mine. Also if you feel like being super duper cool, I would love if you were able to ID one of my non-research grade reptiles + amphibians <3

I've been getting into learning and doing identifications, mostly for reptiles and amphibians of California. I do my best to make sure my IDs are as founded as possible, but if you disagree with anything I've identified, please just let me know. I'm here to learn and have a good time. Also, mostly for my future reference + to review when I'm more knowledgeable, these are any maverick IDs I may have made and these are IDs I have made above the species level.

I recently was shown this iNat geoguessing game and I feel compelled to share it.
