FW: [Aliens-L] Australian Insects Common Names (AICN)

[Tiser, Gene M]

Below is a forward (from an alien invasive plant list serve) for an
interesting Australian insect web site.  I am not sure if this has been
posted here before - if so, my apologies for the redundancy.  

While it is titled Common Names, they do include scientific names as well!  

Enjoy!
