Hey Phil,

We've chatted before in the past - I'm that animal-obsessed girl who runs www.FeaturedCreature.com. I've been following your travels for some time now, and I'm always so impressed with what you discover - and how you can share that information so well with the world! I feel like you're making such a large contribution to not only the entomology world, but the science community as a whole.

My question is - what's the strangest bug you've ever found? Was it something "new" or had it been previously identified?

Also - could I potentially interview you for my site sometime? :)

Awesome!! Just shot you a message on twitter.

Oh, I remember that one! I covered the news back in 2012 when you first announced it. Soooo amazing!

Didn't you once say that you found some butterflies that smelled like cake or something, too?

Hello sir! This is one of the first AMA's I've ever felt compelled to respond to. I'm a young jewish girl with an insane passion for animals. I actually run a website about them, dedicated to raising awareness to those that don't typically get a lot of time in the limelight. I was wondering, might you be interested in doing an interview sometime for my site? My readers would be beyond intrigued with what you have to say!

Thank you so much for doing this.
