About this page...
I am no entomologist so you will see I have not identified any of the insects on this page. These are just photos of insects and spiders I have seen on Knocklofty (less butterfies and moths which have a page of their own). I imagine I have just scratched the surface of what's there.
I have grouped them by taxonomic order as best I can using a common process called 'rough guess' based on how they look. Feel free to correct me (see About/Contact page).
