Hello, my name is Aurora and my main interests are ants!
Although I do quite like Hymenoptera (mainly Apocrita) as a whole so I do try to upload sightings of them when I do come across any.
I am going to of course be wrong in some of the identification I do for some of my observations, but if you do suggest something that differs please add a reason so I can learn from it. Thanks in advance!

I often upload observations from both Spain and the UK, so my main expertise are those areas in the taxa of ants. So feel free to tag me if you need any help with ant observations from either of those two places!

I am currently studying for a BSc in Zoology at the University of St Andrews and will graduate in 2028.

Since 2020, I have been carrying out independent research on the different species of ants in Mairena del Alcor, and I use iNaturalist to store some of the data (time and location) of said ant observation.

Here is my list of published research:
