About Shazia (Author)
I am a professional entomologist with a M-Phil degree in zoology. Which gives me identification capabilities for different animals. I have deep knowledge about animal biology, behavior, features, and defence mechanisms. Because of this knowledge I can easily identify any species and tell whether it is dangerous or not, also I can explain their relations and response to different predators and environments.
In my academic career I had done experimental research on mice, in which I had to identify the effects of different drugs and doses on them. Which means I can also suggest you pesticide and insecticide to deal with any insect or other animal infestation.
In addition to this, in my undergraduate course, an insect collection of different species was part of my animal kingdom project. Because of that I can clearly distinguish between most similar looking insects. As I deeply study physical and biological characters of insects, it gives me a foundation on which I can identify any insect very easily.
Why I Started InSectFAQ.com
After M-Phil, I had an internship in a research center affiliated to my university, It gives a practical shape to my theoretical knowledge and I become more expert in my work.
Because of my strong academic record about insects I decided to guide people about insects and I started sharing my views through InSectFAQ.com. This blog is full research based and strengthened by facts. I love to write about cockroaches, spiders, and ants.
My aim is to guide lay men about insects in very simple and easy language while establishing scientific accuracy. I do not prefer to share my random opinion i try my best to equip everything with research, data, and information from scientific literature.
