Hello, and welcome to my Wikipedia Userpage. While I have been a registered Wikipedian for going on 7 years now, I've really only been actually participating since October 2007 with a break in 2010. I am a member of several Wikiprojects including WikiProject Human Spaceflight, WikiProject South Carolina, WikiProject Georgia and the WikiProject Utah. I jump around from one subject to another depending on my current interest, (which can change quickly) working what looks like it needs help. I generally stick with subjects that I love like Rocketry, Spaceflight, Electronics, Robotics, Geography and the states of Illinois, South Carolina, Utah and Georgia.

In the short time I've been here, I have found that Wikipedia is quite addicting, specially for an information junkie like myself. I can spend several hours a day here, either working on an article or just reading. So am I a Wikipediholic? According to the Wikipediholism test I am "really overdoing myself. I need to take a wikibreak for a few days." I scored a 3331 on the test. How about you, what is your score?

European spruce bark beetle

The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus), is a species of bark beetle in the true weevil family, Curculionidae. It is found in Europe and Asia Minor and east to China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea. Bark beetles are so named because they reproduce in the inner bark, living and dead phloem tissues, of trees. Their preferred trees in which to reside include spruces, firs, pines and larches. The species has the ability to spread quickly over large areas and some scientists hypothesize that long-distance movements originating from the Iberian Peninsula may have contributed to its invasion of northern Norway spruce forests. This female European spruce bark beetle was photographed in Naninne in the province of Namur, Belgium.
