Bug ID Web site

I stumbled across a great insect-identification Web site today called BugGuide.com. Actually, the site is devoted to arthropods in general, but I happened to be trying to key out a species of sweat bee and was really impressed with the photographs helping to differentiate the Hymenoptera (bee, ant and wasp) families.

I thought I’d pass it along in case any of you were interested in keying out some of the insects, spiders and various centipedes and millipedes in your yards. Enjoy!

Visit the site HERE.

    GARDEN BLOG
    By Tasha Johnson
    Welcome to the Garden Blog -- a place to learn about what fellow Whatcom County gardeners are doing in their home plots. This is also a forum for you to recommend tried-and-true vegetable varieties, share your pest-control strategies and plant-husbandry tips, and get local answers to your specific garden questions.
    Tasha received her B.A. from Mount Holyoke College in 2003. She has since worked full-time for newspapers as a features editor, page designer, garden columnist and copy editor. She left journalism last year to pursue a graduate degree in biology at Western Washington University. Her research is focused on the effects of invasive Himalayan blackberry on pollinators.
    In addition to hundreds of research plants at the university greenhouse, Tasha tends a vegetable plot and several flower beds at her home in the Columbia Neighborhood.
