Bugs Unlimited, LLC is a small business I formed in the 1990's for contract work in field biology and aquatic insect identification, data analysis and writing. I have mostly worked on projects in the Elk and West Elk Mountains of Colorado in the summer and spend the winters processing aquatic insect samples and data. However variety being the spice of life, I enjoy diverse field research with whoever needs assistance in the spring, fall and winter :-)
