JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2008 http://www.insectnet.com is a web forum that covers the entire ento spectrum. There are some very bright folks who regularly participate there. It is NOT fishing oriented, but if you need an ID, someone there will be able to do it. Be warned though that it can get quite political, very opinionated, and technical. I read it quite a bit because one of my other illnesses (besides fishing) is insect collecting and rearing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrubinsconnie 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 I found this site some time ago and I like it. It has info on bugs and flies. http://www.westfly.com/ento/ento.htm Do you all know of better ones? Yeah try www.bugguide.net also teaches you the taxonomy so you will eventually learn how all these bugs are related to each other from a evolutionary perspective. Great Pics too with both the adult forms and immature forms Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troutslayer101 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2016 Does any one know about this Entomology course? it is on sale right now but I'm not sure if it would be worth it. Maybe I just need to apply that money to books? https://thecatchandthehatch.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troutnut 0 Report post Posted March 17 It was fun to see somebody posted my "new" site at the start of this thread... 20 years ago! Time flies! Anyway, https://www.troutnut.com was almost down for much of the past few years(or at least very glitchy), but I just finished a big redesign that took about 4 years (winter 2025). It includes some new toys for both aspiring and avid bug geeks. These include illustrated, user-friendly taxonomic keys for all aquatic insects down to at least genus level: https://www.troutnut.com/taxonomic-keys However, keys are inevitably kind of technical, even though I built in all the bells and whistles I could imagine to make them easier. For a simpler approach of "comparing the bug you found to a bunch of pictures" similar to a bird field guide, I created a streamside field guide. It'll help you get some hatches identified correctly on the stream, and it gives a concise summary of all the most useful information about how to match each hatch. https://www.troutnut.com/field-guide I hope people find both tools useful!
