About Me

With Dylan Parry at SUNY-ESF, I continue to examine the repurcussions of gypsy moth in North America. I am currently investigating parasitism of the rogue biological control agent, Compsilura concinnata, on native silk moths, and what forest community factors contribute to Compsilura distributions. I also regularly contribute to the popular entomology Facebook page, Relax. I'm an Entomologist.
