[Nhcoll-l] [EXTERNAL] IPM pest identification guides

[Dahlberg, Elisa]

Hi  Liz,

There are a handful of good resources out there. I am sure others will
chime in. A few that I like are listed below.

https://museumpests.net/identification/

https://www.pestworld.org/pest-guide/

http://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/menu.homegarden.html

The Mallis Handbook of Pest Control (ie: IPM bible) is also a good, but
pricey resource.

Best,
Elisa
