Crab Spiders -

Hi Chuck - please consider adding a link to this document - an unusual CA-specific spider reference - appears to be very comprehensive treatment of CA crab and running crab spiders...

It's great to have this all on one page !

Thanks Chuck !

Some feedback:

1. The hyperlink to the Annotated list of California Microlepidoptera is broken.
Is the document still available?

2. The Soldier Flies or Stratiomyidae of California is already mentioned in the beginning of the list, as it is one of the California Insect Survey Publications.

I also discovered that the CIS publications had moved. Thanks!

Very cool!

How could we get something like this for other states....say Oklahoma for example ?

Compliments!

This will be of great help to many. For Diptera/ Therevidae you might be interested in adding this Key to the Nearctic Genera of Therevidae . Your effort reminded me to put it on the INFO page.

Excellent!

Hey, this is great! Very helpful to those of us in neighboring states as well. Keep up the great work:-)

UC Press books?

Hi Chuck! Thanks for compiling this great list! Do you want to include California-specific insect books like the ones from UC Press on CA Beetles, Odonates, etc.?

BTW - I didn't mean to imply that I wanted you to do it! Would be happy to add the UC Press books myself if it would be helpful and someone gave me a tip on how to do it..... Thanks.
