      I helped a team of people discover the James Bond Hutia which is a large guinea pig like animal that lives a large part of its life up trees. I’m also working with another group of scientists to describe several new species of dung beetle from the cloud forests of Honduras. Describing a new species of insect can take quite a long time.
