Hello! Welcome to my user page.

I also contribute to Commons semi-regularly and to Wikidata and Wikispecies as needed.

Here is a gallery for my favorite Wikipedia and Commons images.

My username refers to dicynodonts—specifically, Diictodon, a Late Permian dicynodont that survived the end-Permian mass extinction. They are one of the "protagonist" taxa in the third and final episode of the 2005 BBC documentary series Walking with Monsters.

I am a university student and may not significantly contribute to Wikipedia for weeks or months at a time. However, I consult it almost every day, so I will probably see messages relatively quickly.

To-do list

Phylogeny of Apoidea; generally needs to be reviewed and potentially reorganized according to most recent phylogenetic information available
- Sphecidae/Bembicinae/Crabronidae relative to each other and Anthophila
- Phylogenetic tree on Apoidea is c. 2018 and does not match the phg. relationships given in family articles, e.g. Bembici(n/d)ae given as outgroup of Sphecidae rather than as subfamily nested within Crabronidae
  - Move to a template of its own and transclude onto relevant page(s)?
- Bees arose as clade within Crabronidae or within Ammoplanidae?
  - Ammoplanidae sister group to bees
- WikiProject Hymenoptera...?
Hemaris genus of sphinx moths, especially the North American clearwings
Sweat bee genera Agapostemon, Halictus, Lasioglossum, Augochlora(!)
- Ceratina australensis
Create Natural History of Georgia (U.S. State)
Bombus stubs + missing articles
- Subgenus Alpinobombus
Green lacewing subfamilies Apochrysinae and Nothochrysinae
Coccinellini
