Because these collections are done by different people and are use different conventions, there are subsections
- Lepidoptera (From Dr. Margy Siebert and Alice Phillips, who run regular censuses)
- Insects and Spiders (excluding Lepidoptera– from Entomology class)
- Invertebrates (including many insects– from Invertebrate Zoology Class)
- Arachnids (from Dr. Todd Blackledge and the American Arachnological Society’s field trip to the preserve in Summer 2005; 87 species!)
