Entomology was my field of study.  I've been undecided on how to label insects given my general blog audience, recent classification changes, and the overwhelming abundance of "bug" names. Compared to other groups, I have relatively few insects featured on Nature ID, mainly because it's a lucky day if my temperamental old point-and-shoot focuses properly on such small moving animals.

Initially, I often used the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG I, II, and III) that is regularly used on Wikipedia. As of May 2012, I started using the continually updated Jepson eFlora closely based on the 2012 2nd edition of The Jepson Manual. It will take time to switch over as I add flowers, double check their current family status, and update older posts.  I also include several cross references.   

Common names below link to all Nature ID posts for featured plant families.  Number of entries from the last update are in parentheses.  Scientific names forward to Jepson eFlora Dichotomous Keys to Genera in Families (if available) or Jepson eFlora Taxon pages (JeFT). If you know a scientific family name and do not see its common name, use your browser's find function with the scientific name.
