Insect Species: Named Insects Up Close
Some insects are searched for by name rather than by colour or place: a mantis on the porch, a ladybug on the window. Each page here covers one of them, lists the species you are most likely to meet in North America, and gives the features and egg cases or markings that tell native species from introduced ones.
