Yes I have changed my username from felix-insects to felix-nicholls!

I am an 18 year old amateur photographer, nature and science enthusiast based in Perth with a strong interest in South-west Western Australia’s orchids and carnivorous plants (although the carnivorous plant interest extends to other countries to some extent). At the moment I am part of the WANOSCG ADORP project and I’m still doing a small amount of work with the WA Herbarium. I have a Cirt II & III in horticulture from Kings Park and I am currently studying 1st year botany at UWA. I am the creator of the “Carnivorous Plants of Western Australia” and the “Native Hybrid Orchids of Western Australia” projects.

For anyone interested my current photography equipment is listed below

• Canon EOS 60D

• Canon EOS 5D MKIII

• Sigma 150mm EX DG OS HSM Macro

• Tamron SP 90mm Di VC USD Macro

• Laowa 15mm f/4 Macro

• A lot of my older photos are taken with the Sigma 105mm EX DG Macro.

Currently also trying to learn more about Myxomycetes.

If you have any questions please tag or message me but be aware that my area of experience is limited to Western Australia.
