Taxonomic Survey

This Survey is arranged hierarchically.  A click on the Order will bring you to a Narrative of that order.  All orders found in North America north of Mexico are included.  At the end of each order narrative is a list of families.  A click on those Families that are underlined will bring you to a Family Narrative.  Each family found in Minnesota has a family narrative.  If representatives of a particular family are found at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve, a click on Table of Species will bring you to an alphabetical tabular listing of species collected at CCESR.  If a species (genus) is underlined in narrative or table, a click on it will bring you to a photograph in the Photo Album.  Forward and Backward Arrows, brings you through Order Narratives, Family Narratives, or Species Tables.  Up Arrow brings you to upper level of Hierarchy.  Home Arrow brings you to Insect Home.
