The following are sample images for the upcoming identification guide to Nursery and Landscape Arthropod Pests of Ontario (Cheung, D.K.B., Llewellyn, J. Marshall. S. A.). This digital interactive guide is scheduled for launched in spring 2010 and will be available free once published in the Canadian Journal of Arthropod Identification. It will feature user-friendly digital identification keys with numerous high quality, high magnification photographs. We are striving to make this guide more comprehensive and your help is needed. If you would like to contribute specimens for study and photography please see our wanted list ’09. Your help is appreciated. This project is being supported by Landscape Ontario Growers Association, University of Guelph Insect Collection and Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA).
