Dates for the entries in which you can find the evidence for species ID


(Where I plan to be going tomorrow: South River valley on the way to Entry Run.)

Whenever I give the name (Latin) of an insect in a photo I've posted, I worry that recent readers will wonder how I've established that species (or in some cases genus) ID.   So, I've worked back through my previous entries and noted some of the dates where you can find the evidence for specific identifications.  This project is not yet complete: there are still some gaps that I want to fill.  But, this should be a good place to begin and something I hope will be useful.
