Other Insects

These are some of the other insects (besides butterflies and moths) that I've found at the farm. I can't identify most of the insects I see, but this is a list of the ones I do recognize.

I greatly appreciate all the help I've gotten from my entomologist friends - Margot Monson, MJ Hatfield, and Mike Reese, and also, all the helpful folks on Bugguide.   Someday I hope to know much more about insects and to be able to have a more complete inventory of the species that are here.
