Observations of a paleontologist, dragonfly expert, and nature enthusiast. Visit bechly.at

I am a German scientist (paleontologist), specialized on the fossil history and systematics of insects (esp. dragonflies), the most diverse group of animals. I am skeptical of the Neo-Darwinian theory of macroevolution for purely scientific reasons. I am a dedicated nature enthusiast. From early childhood my greatest interest always has been and still is wildlife, nature, and nature conservation. I have a special passion for deciduous trees, birds, aquarium fish, insects, and fossils.
