Online Access: On/Off Campus- This site was developed to provide easily-accessible information about the county-level distribution of all tiger beetle species in continental North America. Although numerous subspecies and tiger beetle races have been named and described, we have limited this site to species. Characteristic specimens of each species have been photographed from the dorsal and lateral view. However, considerable variation in adult color and elytral markings exist.

- North American Butterfly Association
Online Access: On/Off Campus- The North American Butterfly Association (NABA) is interested in working to increase public enjoyment and conservation of butterflies. NABA has been instrumental in maintaining environments for the endangered Schaus' Swallowtail in Florida and contributed to developing a long term survival plan for Monarchs, and developing educational programs about butterflies for schools and park rangers and naturalists. NABA has also convinced the U.S. Army to conduct further studies before implementing a plan that would destroy the last known colony of Regal Fritillaries east of the Mississippi River.
