User:Pro bug catcher
Me, Myself and II have a B.Sc. in biology by problem-based learning from the Université du Québec à Montréal. My interestsI am mainly interested in biology, especially entomology and behavioural ecology, insect evolution, but also entomophagy (not quite biology). I usually find most science subjects interesting. I like to cook and eat well. Excluding Wikipedia, my spare time goes to photography (especially insect macro, see my Flickr account), do what I can for the planet, reading (especially fantasy & fiction), listening to music (especially celtic, celtic fusion, alternative rock, folk-rock and rock en español), and watching anime.

Trivia
I am half Canadian, one quarter Belgian and one quarter French. Plus my French ancestors were ultimately from Norway (i.e. I might have viking blood). Paul Verlaine was my great-great-grand uncle, I'm also related to Alfred Pellan and Félix Leclerc. Like 75-85% of Europeans I have cusps of Carabelli, but according to my dentist, mine are particularly large. |
