Handy Guide to Bugs
|
There are millions of bugs in the world and scientists have placed them all into large groups based on body structure. These groups are called orders and here are some of the major orders of bugs that you'll find around the Inn. Click on the link to open a new page with explanations and images.

Many thanks to Eric Eaton, co-author of Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America and Dr. Cannings, Curator of Entomology at the Royal British Columbia Museum for taking the time to help with the proper identification of the insects in this section.
