>identifying insects and arachnids?Haha good luck. Lots of study. Understand how to use binomial keys. Purchasing binomial keys as not all of them are available online. My work involves identifying all sorts of invertebrates and it is incredibly difficult. You need to dedicate all of your time to learning. There is a reason why entomologists specialize in particular groups of invertebrates. It is difficult. If you are dedicated go to school for insect collection and taxonomy.
