Spring is one of my favorite seasons. Hopefully this year's will be bright, wonderful, and filled with new possibilities. One way to get yourself moving in the direction of springlike, transformative thought is to take a look at this fabulous database:Butterflies and Moths of North America
This database is a project of the Big Sky Institute at Montana State University. The image gallery can be searched by scientific or common name. The site also offers identification tools.
Bug Guide is a place to go to find out what type of ant is eating the potato chip crumbs off your kitchen floor. It is run by volunteer naturalists.
Another place to go to find bug identification is What's that Bug? This site is run by armchair entomologists so take this as a mix of entertainment and a place to get a little starting information. Readers send in pictures with the hope that someone will know what bug it is.
