Danish arachnologist hunting down every single species of Danish spider.
I have a masters degree in biology from The University of Copenhagen. My master thesis was on crab spiders' sensory biology with a special emphasis on their vision.
North European crab spiders and their habitus is my strong suit. Currently looking in to each Danish species development, and documenting the juveniles. Turns out many of the species juvies are quite characteristic.

I now work as a biodiversity consultant, in my own company with a special focus on spider diversity assesments.
