Anyone know a good link for insect classification?

[Changenow]

The project for my daughter's honor biology is due Monday and all the books are checked out of our small town library. We can't find any good sites, anyone know of any? Freeperville was a good study in roaches and things that slither, but didn't take us any further.

Don't ask why she waited until the last minute, I already have.

Thanks.

1. The Britannica Encylopedia

Check the micropedia index for the Britannica. There should be a fair bit of informatin on the insect classification scheme there. If the local library doesn't have the Britannica, check the Americana. That encyclopedia is also geared towards high school age students. Do you have a Barnes and Noble or Borders near you? I can check to see what books are in print and you might be able to take her to the bookstore? I'll also check for websites.

2. We do have a Hastings and a Waldenbooks.

I hadn't thought of the encyclopedias at the library.

6. Books

I checked RLIN, which is the electronic library collection for public, acadamic and law firm libraries, as well as Amazon. Most of the books are expensive, but I found 2 that were affordable.

7. That one is way cool but the links are in Italian.

I can't seem to make the English section work.
