Dear Courtney:
One of the best and used often by a lot of aquatic entomology labs is
the recent edition of:
Merritt, Cummins, Berg. 2008. An introduction to the aquatic
insects of North America. Fourth Edition. Kendall/Hunt Publishing
Co., Dubuque, Iowa.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Eric

Hi all,
I am looking at insects found in Virginia and need some good insect
ID keys. I
was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on any great
insect keys
that would help me ID at least to the genus level. If anyone knows
of any great
dichotomous keys for insects, could you please let me know? I'm
assuming that
these keys are separated for orders such as the coleopterans,
lepidopterans,
dipterans, hemipterans, etc., which is fine. Any help would be
greatly
appreciated!
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Courtney Culp
