Numerous projects in Europe and in the tropical part of South America, as well as the largest private collection have resulted from my enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, current research structures hardly allow studies in classical fields of biology. For this reason I have been unable to find regular work related to Thysanoptera.<\/p>\n

In 2006 I completed my skills with pedagogical trainings and now I work as a high school teacher for biology and chemistry.<\/p>\n

With dedication I try to call attention to little things, which are essential for the general context. Little things like thrips.<\/p>\n
