Documentation requires precision. I utilize my Chemical X to ensure research-grade imagery for iNaturalist and personal study.
Leech socks (non-negotiable), a hat that has seen better days, and an incredible amount of patience for insects that don't follow directions.
I prioritize the welfare of my subjects above the shot. No insects are harmed or staged, and habitat disturbance is kept to an absolute minimum. My goal is to document nature, not disrupt it.
