Easy access to information about the invertebrates that live on native insects or plants.

Interesting insects and other invertebrates

These factsheets aim to provide high-quality information on the invertebrates that live on native insects or plants.  They are intended for people with diverse needs, from school students and those keen on the outdoors, to biodiversity managers and professional entomologists. 

 A factsheet usually covers a single species, providing information such as its biostatus, distribution, biology, and recognition.   It may also include other information, where appropriate, such as control options and additional sources of  information.

The interesting insects factsheets are published as part of the New Zealand Arthropod Collection Factsheet Series (ISSN 1179-643X).
