ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Ben! (or you can call me Flicker!)

I love bugs and other weird creatures of all types!! I made this page to collect stuff I make and stuff I think is cool.

Some other things about me: I am transgender and autistic and I am a common eastern firefly (Photinus pyralis) furry/otherkin :P
