Hi there!

I'm a 20 year old college student from Vodice, Croatia currently studying in Zagreb. Recently I got named ''the youngest biologist in Croatia'' due to publishing my first science paper at the age of 17, a record in the country!
I started with collecting and hybridizing succulents which I did for 5+ years but with time I got more interested in botany and insects around me so I started to explore and upload my findings which brought me into the science community.

My main focus is botany but I have some knowledge on some insect orders such as Orthoptera and Hemiptera - which I just started recently as there are no experts on the order in Croatia!
Here to learn and to help others.
Check my observations and fill in where you can, I'd really appreciate it!

Please first ask before using my media and observations for papers and such, and in case of findings, I would like to be unleast a co-author of the paper if I found something of some significance, thank you.

o Researchgate

My paper(s):

o Unexpected faunistic records of Rhacocleis annulata, Eyprepocnemis plorans, and Xya pfaendleri (Orthoptera) from Croatia and Slovenia

o First records of three exotic giant mantid species on the Croatian coast
