Insect Identification Poster

Insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth. There are more than a million described species, more than all other animal groups combined.  This chart presents all the insect orders through a brief description accompanied by detailed pictures of one or more species. A section on anatomy identifies important physical characteristics. A unique branching system permits the novice to identify a specimen to the order level (beetle, bee, bug, butterfly, etc.)

This poster contains a large section devoted to insect anatomy.  It is accompanied by illustrations showing variations of body parts between different species.  A glossary provides information on each body part.  Also included in is a section that introduces Arthropods. They are animals that have external skeletons.  In addition to insects, the arthropods include spiders and the crustaceans. Several are shown.
