Moved

Moved from Bug-like Creatures Not Covered By BugGuide.
Please see discussion here. I'll wait a while to give more people an opportunity to contribute to the debate regarding marine taxa, but there is a clear consensus to open BugGuide up to all inland arthropods. I look forward to seeing more of your great pictures of formerly shunned crustaceans, Dave!

Info

I am not the seller, but thought of you, when I saw this...

Don't know anything about the book, or if it is a good deal. It came up while I was searching for something else.

Thanks

Thanks, John. Just today I ordered a couple of textbooks on freshwater invertebrates. Each covers all the orders. I want to begin photographing small freshwater aquatics (those measuring, say, 2 mm or less). Regrettably, many such animals are not "bugs" and so are not appropriate for BugGuide. On the bright side, some small animals that size are -- this morning, I captured an insect larva measuring 2-3 mm. I hope to get some half-decent shots of him for the Guide. Thanks again. -- Dave
