| Fairbanks, AK Posts: 1143 | Not disinterested, but I don't have those intermediate taxonomic levels built into the database of this site. If I did, it would take a lot more clicks, CPU, and bandwidth to navigate from order to species or anything. That's one reason I integrated the forum with the insect section in the first place... so those extra details can be added here. :) Thanks. | |

| Posts: 141 | No problem, I just thought you used more taxonomic terms than you do. The tribe designation can often tell you about the ecology of a group of genera. | |
