Taxonomic classifications presented are not meant to represent all known classifications, or to imply that all possible classifications have been done. This website is in a constant process of evolution and represents an ongoing learning process. Its content is still expanding and its structure is undergoing changes. For authoritative species identifications or pest control questions, she'd rather that you consult your local North Carolina Agricultural Extension agent (or the equivalent if you live in another state) or another relevant authority. For problems with pets, please consult your local pet store. Anthropomorphic interpretations of animal behavior are made mostly about birds and are meant strictly for the amusement of the site visitor.
