>> I've been working here long enough
that I can actually do most of the identifications fairly rapidly.
I at least recognize the group to which most species belong.
I don't, I don't often see things that are completely, baffle me.
Most of the time my specimens are adults,
but maybe 20 to 30 percent of the time they come in as larvae.
And that's a bit of a problem because larvae are far more difficult to identify
and it's very rare that you can even make generic identification.
Often I'll only go to sub-family for larvae.
They're just poorly known.
The larval stages haven't been described, haven't been researched as much.
So it's very, very difficult.
I'm always happy to receive adult beetles, they're far easier to identify.
