I am a freelance naturalist, endlessly fascinated by the interconnections of all the living and nonliving things around me. I am the lead author of Tracks & Sign of Insects and Other Invertebrates (Stackpole Books, 2010), and continue to collect photographs and information on this subject. These days I am especially drawn to galls, leaf mines, and other plant-insect interactions. For more about my work, visit CharleyEiseman.com and NorthernNaturalists.com (my joint site with Noah Charney). I live in western Massachusetts.

I’m always interested in trying to solve natural history mysteries, bug-related or otherwise. If you’ve got one you’re puzzling over, feel free to send it to me at ceiseman@gmail.com.
I’ve got your excellent book and hope to contribute occasionally to its website. Found this site after just discovering 5 different sites of stink bug eggs on window screens of my house. Looking forward to watching them hatch! Also wishing for a few of those parasitic wasps…
I found what I think might be a cocoon of sorts similar to a post on your site about the Wookie moth. Is there a way I can email you a picture of it for identification?
Yes, my email address is ceiseman@gmail.com. You can also post things like that to BugGuide’s ID Request section and I will see them there.
Just discovered your blog today – very nice! Your book looks great, too.
