There are various Web sites available for learning about insects but they are primarily
directed to insect hobbies, academic or agricultural activities. Many times other Web
sites include insects not found in North America. This site, however, provides information
primarily designed to be applied in the home garden or household by the average person in
North America. Since many questions have been directed to me that are related to hobbies,
I have also provided some information which is useful to amateur scientists, kids,
fishermen and photographers. See Objectives for further
information.
This site is intended for exchanging information with gardeners and others who are
interested in learning to cope with insects by :
a. providing a form for submitting key information and questions about your specific
insect problems. Click on
b. providing feedback classification and advice concerning the forgoing insect(s) for
your further action (this information will be returned to you via E-mail).
c. providing links to other resources and books for you to learn more about insects, diagnosing insect caused
problems and insect control measures.
Note: Donations are invited to support this effort. ( Send

with identification descriptions. Photos of all stages are desired from egg to adult. In
return I will list your name and /or organization as donors.
The help provided by the author of this site is the best scientific based information,
about which he is aware, but gardening is not an exact science due to the many
unpredictable elements involved so the results can not be guaranteed. E-mail feedback is
therefor invited to keep the author aware of successes and failures. Also let me know if
