Helpful Hint: If you are looking for species representing specific taxa, please consider searching the site by Order, Family, or the Genus/species. Alternatively, if you know the common name of the species you are looking for, you can give that a try... I do my best to follow the current scientifically-accepted taxonomy, including common names, when possible. Galleries are loosely sorted by taxonomic Order & Family.
