Hi! My name is Frank, I go by Shift or SuperFrank or some variation of those. I am currently pursuing a B.S. in entomology with a minor in microbiology and hope to get my PhD in plant medicine from University of Florida. My research goals include devising novel ways to manage arthropod populations through the manipulation of their microbiome. I have been seriously interested in ants for just a few years but have picked up a good bit and am always willing to help anyone in any way I can. I keep or have kept many species of ants as well as dart frogs, horned frogs, tarantulas, and various others
