What’s that bug?

October 24, 2005

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been unable to identify some cool new specimen. Unlike linguistic questions, like the history of the letter C, identifying creatures by sight is pretty near impossible to research on the internet, or even with a book for the non-biologist. Now I’ve found: whatsthatbug.com.

The picture on the right comes from the bug love section. Not sure I quite understand the biology behind that, but it is entertaining. I can’t wait till our next trip to the park!
