Insects

INSECTA: INSECTS

Note: Many people have helped with the id of some of these insects, especially Mike Thomas, Chris Maier, Patrick Coin, Eric Eaton, John Epler, Art Anker, and Herschel Raney. Obviously, many are still unidentified so if you see anything you can identify I would love to know what they are! Email link at the bottom of the page... Some groups have their own page, click on the image at left to go to that page... The rest are in taxonomic order, when the family is known. Sometimes this is an approximation!
