There are several species and subspecies of wasps here in Missouri, but toward the west, mostly Kansas, there are too many for just our measly paper-bound guides. Do these wasps usually nest near the middle of a building or up high? The paper wasps I've encountered avoid the middle areas for some reason. Perhaps they are shy...Missouri_Wildernesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806223162771529009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-35282348261760702452008-02-12T11:00:00.000-06:002008-02-12T11:00:00.000-06:00Arthropods are all the spineless critters, inverte...Arthropods are all the spineless critters, invertebrate animals that have a jointed body and limbs and usually a hard shell or exoskeleton.

I don’t know, but I would like to think they would be similar to those of Peterson’s guide. An elevated interest in biodiversity could help sustain conservation efforts. It certainly means a greater appreciation of life’s diversity, and that can’t be a bad thing."<BR/><BR/>Hear Hear... any kind of understanding as got to be good.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-55560859367471805722008-02-12T05:56:00.000-06:002008-02-12T05:56:00.000-06:00Unless you take the time to study, as you must hav...Unless you take the time to study, as you must have, nobody knows.

Are butterflies arthropods? I am not sure of the distinction. Of course butterflies are closely studied as they have been over the years but the field guides for them are as good as most bird field guides. I always like to see peoples faces when they find that the 'worm' that is eating their beloved parsley is a beautiful butterfly in transition. Ha... So much to learn. <BR/><BR/>I also think that access to the internet is a reason people like bugs. When you can send a picture to sites like What Bug Is This and get an answer to your question it is just too easy and FUN. <BR/><BR/>Also people that do know some things, like yourself, are helpful and you find out you aren't the only person out in their garden investigating all the inhabitants.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
