you know I'm already sold so I can get straight to my advice: I'd lay
aside camera and scanner now, and start studying some entomology and
insect's classification.
The only important thing missing there is exact scientific/common names
for your subjects, IMO. That would add the final touch to your already
pro-level images and site.
What do you think?
A very good suggestion - and given the number of mistakes I have in ID'ing the insects (some of which are down right embarrassing) doing that would certainly help the presentation quite a bit.
But one thing that really surprises me is how many species of insects there are and how difficult it can be to get even family level ID's. I swapped several emails with a taxonomic entomologist at the USDA which helped a lot,but in some cases without having an actual specimen they can't refine the ID much at all.
Thanks for your suggestion!
