Collecting and Preserving Insects
Collecting insects can be a fun hobby, and is also an important step in IPM. The resources in this collection will help you learn how to find and collect insects and arthropods, then prepare them so that they can be useful for identification and research efforts.
Invasive Plants of Eastern Oregon and Alternative Natives and Ornamentals
When deciding upon which plants will be used in your garden or landscaping project it’s important to avoid selecting species that are considered invasive. This publication provides several examples of invasive plants for our area, specifically for zones 5 and 6 of the United States Department of Agriculture’s “hardiness zones” chart.

Information on external morphology of insects.
Phylum Arthropod
Member of the Phyllum Arthropoda can be found in the seas, in fresh water, on land, or even flying freely; a group with amazing differences of structure, and so abundant that all the other animals taken together are less than 1/6 as many as the arthropods. Well-known members of this group are the lobsters, crayfish and crabs; scorpions, spiders, mites, ticks, the centipedes and millipedes; and last, but not least, the most abundant of all, the insects. The Phylum Arthropods consist of the following classes: arachnids, chilopods, diplopods, crustaceans and hexapods (insects).
