Founded in 1996, Featured Creatures provides in-depth profiles of insects, nematodes, arachnids and other organisms. Their website is a cooperative venture of the University of Florida’s Entomology and Nematology Department and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Division of Plant Industry. EDIS hosts copies of these profiles in fact sheet format. In September and October, the following have been added:
- Entomopathogenic Nematodes of Thrips Thripinema spp. (Nematoda: Tylenchida: Allantonematidae)
- Redbanded Stink Bug, Red-Banded Stink Bug, Smaller Green Stink Bug (suggested common names) Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)
- A Shoemaker Butterfly Prepona Laertes (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)
- Spiral Nematode Helicotylenchus spp. (Nematoda: Tylenchida: Hoplolaimidae)
