Identification Resources-Ongoing

(The current plan is that this is going to be an ever-evolving post where I dump new identification resources.
Maybe I'll break up posts by Kingdom--let's see how unwieldy this gets!)

Identification resources:
Arthropods:

Butterfly eggs

Moth eggs
https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/eggs-egg-coverings-of-terrestrial-invertebrates/journal/83021
Hemiptera eggs
https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/eggs-egg-coverings-of-terrestrial-invertebrates/journal/82290
Things mistaken for insect eggs:

ScaleNet-ID insect scales
https://scalenet.info/
Particularly useful is the "Ecological Associates" tab at the top where you can look up lists of scale species by host plants https://scalenet.info/associates/
Currently I look up host plant, then plug the scale genus into iNat for photos. Many species do not have photos on iNaturalist or even when searching the internet.

Tree cricket ID:
Nancy Collins’s iNaturalist bio has ID tips and sources:

Moths and butterflies in North America:

Miller, Jeffrey C.; Hammond, Paul C. 2003. Lepidoptera of the Pacific Northwest: caterpillars and adults. FHTET-2003-03. Morgantown, VW: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team. 324 p. (Online only)

http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species_list.php?state=#7135
Can look up photos by state. Useful to have a genus to start with.
