Extension Programs
Extension Programs are a great resource for insect identification for growers, landscapers, and gardeners—and especially for truly local expertise.
To find your local cooperative extension office and contact info (and put your tax dollars to work), try any of the following:
- Find Extension Services by ZIP Code (Gardening Know How)
- County Extension Offices (National Pesticide Information Center)
- Land-Grant University Website Directory (USDA- National Institute of Food and Agriculture)
Websites and Blogs
Similarly, the internet in general has become a wealth of accessible entomology. (Many cooperative extension programs host excellent, knowledge-rich websites themselves.) For insect identification questions, the websites below can be useful places to start.
This information was compiled by the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District and we thank them for sharing content.
