Oh yeah this website is awesome! I used it a lot when making my flashcards.theoriginalweevil wrote:For those of you still competing in Ento, or just got an attachment to bugs and want to learn more for studying's sake, here's a community-based website full of pictures (identified by experts/professionals) of insects. It's really good because you get to see more different ones you might not find in the Audubon book (or anywhere else, really) which is very limited.
It's mostly reliable, but as it says on its disclaimer, it's still amateur-based.

Re: Entomology B/C
What is the function of Siricidae's horn? I can't find it anywhere. Also, in female Siricidaes, which abdominal projection is the ovipositor?

Ento. Bugs. Insects.
I didn't choose the Bug Lyfe, the Bug Lyfe chose me.

Re: Entomology B/C
I believe that it is used to lay their eggs deep in solid wood, indicating that it might be the ovipositor itself.

Yes they are.

Re: Entomology B/C
I would think then that the ovipositor is the shorter of the two appendages.
