Hello All, My name is Derek Thornton.   I am a self taught naturalist/photographer.   My number one interest has always been reptiles, amphibians and arthropods.   In my quest for finding these animals my interest have grown to pretty much every living organism on our planet, and even more so, the environments that they live in.
