The Entomology and Nematology Department at the University of Florida has teamed with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to produce this incredible encyclopedia of insects, nematodes, arachnids, and other organisms. Readers may search by Common Name, Scientific Name, Crop or Habitat, Higher Classification, or Recent Additions to find the creature of choice. While the site's concentration on Florida-based creatures may seem limiting at first, the sheer complexity and diversity of organisms listed here will likely keep readers glued to their monitors for extended periods of time. For instance, selecting Common Names pulls up a list of hundreds of creatures, listed in alphabetical order, from the admiral ants to zombie flies. Each organism is accompanied by an introduction, distribution, description, life cycle, and other categories of information.
