This species list includes the order, family, and common names for all species we might see in southeast Georgia (both rare and common). Species listed in blue are those that we have seen on our field trips (Spring 2003); you are responsible for the field identification of these species (as well as knowing their order and family). Although the two labs may not be seeing identical species each week, by the end of the course people in both labs will have seen largely the same species.
