And everyone cheered because that looks so much better than Forestry! Although, it looks like they didn't proofread that document. Read the first paragraph. :| That or they did that for emphasis...

With forestry, we would give the genus and species on the answer sheet. For entomology, do we only need to put the order/family?

I'm guessing that they're going to ask for it specifically in the question - that is, which one, or both. Most likely both if they're asking for family, though.

It looks like the order Coleoptera is the Passeriformes of entomolgy! ;)
If you did ornithology you know what I mean.

This is to say that it has a lot of families, no? I didn't do Ornithology, but I definitely know what Passeriformes are. :lol:
Beetles are definitely going to suck, though.

Yup, I agree. As J.B.S Haldane said,
“If one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of creation it would appear that God has an inordinate fondness for stars and beetles.”
