Wonderful Pictures. Idid not Know that there were so many different kinds.And different names Great work.

I am so excited because I just discovered, through your site, what I had found in my garden - the first instars of the Common Assassin Bug - Pristhesancus plagipennis
Family Reduviidae - on a Solanum nigrum plant. Thank You

Just a quick note to thank you for your sharing. I think I was bitten, or stung, on the thumb and I was trying to identify the source. I have a hairline mark, it may be physical, traveling from the cuticle of the thumb up towards the first knuckle. IT is about 4mm long. I did not feel anything penetrate the skin but for a night I was in low level pain and my thumb was quite sore. The discomfort was sufficient to continually disturb my sleep.
By mid afternoon the pain had completely gone, except for some local soreness around the thumb. The whole episode was over in just less than a day.

I use your other site to identify things that I photograph in the garden. Lovely photos with the new camera.

I like your website. I'm a mere notice at insects, particularly beetles.

I read most of your scientific facts about spiders and find it is quite appropriate. I don't just like to look at photos and to know about details.

I admire your enthusiasm and dedication to your subject.

I would appreciate your answering the following question or giving me some references. Subject: beetle antennae. Why are there different textures and forms? I've one about 3-4 searches but no answer so far.

Also do you recommend some nature encyclopedias or basic insect online textbooks?

This is my third time on your website and I continue to find it fascinating, particularly the photos.

I appreciate your website.

I must say thank you for your informative web site, and now blog site. I have been using it as a resource to ID insects that I photograph and post on my own site. Thanks again.
