Yes :x I have run up against many a wall trying to Id insects. In entomology the Proff. would just give us a picture. make us search for the genus and species of an insect. It was sometimes difficult. Someone really needs to write a good descriptive field guide with ID of the uncommon ones. :)

Collembolla (springtails) DO eat fungi

Yes I think you are right not an

I would live to find a real good entomology
encyclopedia full of pictures and
descriptions as I hate researching on-line.
I will google a few things and see what I can find. :)
