FIELD GUIDES & KEYS

Guided keys

Keys help to identify an organism by using a sort of process of elimination - does it have feathery antennae, if it does then on to the next trait, if not then another, etc. There are a lot of specialized and excellent keys available that are specific to one family or even genera. The keys listed here are broader in scope and geared more for general field identification down to the family or (depending on the organism) genus or species.

How to Know the Protozoa (Pictured Key Nature Series) The best guide of its kind for identifying our microscopic friends.

How to Know the Insects. A "must have" for serious insect observers and collectors. Also available are How to Know the Beetles (which any beetle nut should carry around constantly) and the amazing How to Know the Immature Insects

Not to leave out the arachnids, How to Know the Spiders is not only a good key but also includes studies of spider anatomy and life histories.
