Henry and Josephine Facundo

The Founders of InsectExperts.com

Their interest in insects brought them together 20 years ago in the foremost institution to study Entomology in the Philippines.  Although they’ve already worked together successfully as part of teams for specific student projects, it took another seven years to exclusively team up and tackle big projects of the type that entail lifelong commitment and common vision.

Since then and for the past 13 years, they’ve been inseparable…working on projects that eventually centered around building a family and living life fully.  They’ve been blessed with four great kids and they write about their experiences raising them in their blogs, now primarily Parenting Journey, and as Mama Sez and Papa Sez in Hubpages.com.

They enjoy the trust and support of a community of like-minded workers in the broad field of Entomology who would also willingly contribute to this newest project and share their expertise and insights on issues related to insects and related arthropods: from diversity to interesting behaviors, from roles in the environment to relationships with man, and so much more.
