REVIEW:
Dexter Sear, an entrepreneur who has an obvious love of entomology, created bugbios. Site resources include useful information on all kinds of insects from ants and bees to walkingsticks. A collection of insect photos complete with descriptions and classification information can found in the Entophiles section. Class Insecta, which is under development and promises more classroom resources, features a teaching module on the wing patterns of butterflies and moths. Users will also find past issues of the Cultural Entomology Digest, an e-zine that explores the roles insects play in different aspects of human culture. Included is an extensive list of annotated links to other insect sites and resources on the Net.
