Bug Guide.Net

May I just say how fond I am becoming of bugguide.net? I saw a strange, shriveled, dead-looking cricket-like thing yesterday afternoon, posted a picture yesterday evening, and by night had two people telling me it was not a cricket but a dragonfly exuviae, which means I have to go read up on dragonflies (Yes, the not-cricket was in a dragon-fly-ish sort of area).  It is so much better than wondering and not even knowing where to look in those strange, illustrated guides.

  1. I am bookmarking that page! I always find curious bugs in the yard and have no idea what they are.
