Identification Resources Group

Anybody interested in biodiversity and natural history is always on the lookout for good identification resources. Let's use this community to assemble a list of online guides we find useful. Please post your recommendations in the Newsfeed. We will periodically move sites from your posts into the Online Identification Guides Collection.

Be sure to include the following information:

The name of the site
The web address (url)
The taxonomic range (which organisms are covered?)
The geographic range (which parts of the world are covered?)
Is the site interactive (can you post an image or a question and get help)? ( I )
Optional: a brief note why you think it is a good site.

Thanks for your help in putting this list together!

Also, if you are finding this list helpful, please leave a comment below, so we'll know that it is worth maintaining.

The Newsfeed for this EOL Community gathers updates associated with the items belonging to its Managed Collections, including activities of its members and comments from other EOL users.

A site dedicated to Beetles of the Philippines. I guess it's authoritative because the owner has had more than one species named after him. http://salagubang.net/

I recently added two links to identification guides, both from the Biological Survey of Canada (BSC): Identification Atlas of the Vespidae (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) of the northeastern Nearctic region (http://eol.org/data_objects/13447581) and The Bee Flies (Diptera: Bombyliidae) of Ontario, with a Key to the Species of Eastern Canada (http://eol.org/data_objects/13447579). BSC has other neat guides, I'll wire them up soon too. My experience with this has revealed a need to make it easier to simply add links - as links don't need copyright statements.
