Plants of Hawaii images added from Forest and Kim Starr

Recently, we were fortunate to find the work done by Forest and Kim Starr. They have been creating an image library of Hawaiian plants and animals. Over the past decade, they have complied over 45,000 image! They have graciously allowed us to add some of these image to the Bugwood Network image archive. While it will take us a while to sort through everything, you can see the first images at the following link:

You can also find their site with all of the images and information at:http://www.hear.org/starr/index.html

Montage images from J.R. Baker & S.B. Bambara at North Carolina State University

We recently recieved an excellent set of images from J.R. Baker & S.B. Bambara at North Carolina State University. These images of Scolytines and Platypodid beetles were taken using a Montage imaging system. Many of the images focus on key identification features of these beetles. This set can be seen at:

Images from the Esmat M. Hegazi at the University of Alexandria in Egypt

Many of you may be aware of our project to support the Southern Plant Diagnostic Network by finding images of current and potential pests. Since many of our pests are introduced from other countries, we have been looking abroad for people that may have some relevant images.

Esmat M. Hegazi at the University of Alexandria in Egypt has been very helpfull in helping us find some of the images we have been looking for. He has provided images of both Egyptian cottonworm (Spodoptera littoralis) and leopard moth (Zeuzera pyrina). You can see these on his author page at the following link:
