All the Illustrious Insects & Spiders

Our observation of insects and spiders began in the summer of 2015 in our backyard habitat. Over the years we have observed numerous species of wasps, beetles, flies, dragonflies, ants, bees, and spiders on the various pollinator plants on our property, or lurking about on a moth collecting sheet.

Non Moth Search Form
This search form uses a cascading filter to help you drill down to a specific observation if desired. To do so select an Order to auto populate Family. Select a Family to auto populate Subfamily. Select a Subfamily and then select from a Scientific Name. You can submit the form without making a selection for all fields. For example, you can select Arachnids to view all observed species in that taxon.

The Common Name, Year, and County fields are independent search terms. Species without a Common Name are not included in the auto populated field.
