Hi All,

Just a short intro ...

My name is Arp, I'm from the Netherlands and landed here by ways of the WAB-forums where I was looking around for some Woodlice images. I'm basically a total nature nincompoop who started shooting low quality snapshots (not photos!) of all sorts of little critters around the summer of 2006 and learned a little bit about these animals since. Snapshots are basically aimed at documenting species for free projects such as Wikipedia, but for various reasons I haven't uploaded much of my collection yet.

Looked for a "small" group to learn a little more about and decided to start off with ladybirds and their larvae. Somewhere along the road, basically due to some dutch/german vernacular names confusion, got sidetracked with woodlice as well and as a consequence I'm currently preparing a website on the dutch woodlice that will run as a subsite of the fine dutch ladybird site stippen.nl (stipple.org).

So much for now.
Greetings from the Netherlands!
Arp

I'm indigenous to NL (as you may well have noticed by some peculiar grammar and spelling by now

), but a bit of a "foreigner" in the south/east where I spend most time now

Cheers!

Well, as stated above, I don't really make photos, just snapshots, but as soon as I find out what sort of content and quality is wanted and where it's supposed to go I'll see if I have some images that fit the requirements

See yah,
Arp
