Identification
includes arthropods found in North America that are not native, not captive, not established in the wild, and arrived here accidentally with human help (see
proposal)
does NOT include species introduced intentionally as biocontrol agents, and does NOT include tropical strays etc. that arrived here without human help; bugs in these categories should be placed in the proper location in the Guide
Remarks
Based on ideas discussed
here, this category was created to:
avoid confusion that might result from mixing a few "exotics" in with all the remaining species in the Guide
provide a place to store images and information on species that might become naturalized in the future
