Hi, Rachael and I had some correspondence with its creator not long ago. It’s a father daughter team who really enjoy learning about insects, enjoying cockroaches the most of any and creating the website around them. So it’s very much a hobby-driven page as Michael pointed out, hence its simplicity. They use MuseumPests as a resource and frequent it, reaching outto us in hopes of being a part and resource.
I’m not sure why all the requests however, Leon. Maybe the enthusiasm of the daughter? Best, Matt Mickletz From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Rebman Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2020 11:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [pestlist] Question about a website Greetings, It looks to be just a generic personal Wordpress blog, registered through a low-cost website registrar out of Arizona, with nothing on it that stands out, just standard Wordpress plugins and Google Analytics. I looked through one of the articles, and it listed sources at the bottom. Is the information correct? And is there a chance that down the road, the information might be swapped out with something else? That would be the key, since it is a personal blog not associated with a business or an agency. It seems to be an outreach/hobby type of website, not something assembled by entomologists or pest control professionals. Thank you, Michael R.

There's no sponsor info; just the website ID.

I've looked at it and it seems legitimate - doesn't appear to be trying to sell something or collect personal information. It is hosted in the U.S. and looking through the code I don't see any unusual information gathering. It is possible it is just what it appears to be. Getting so many requests like this has made me a bit skeptical. Does anyone on this list know anything about it?
