About Project Insect
Project Insect is here to give clear, accurate answers about insects: identification, behavior, anatomy, and pest control. When you look something up, you don't want a lecture. You want a well-organized answer you can trust, and that is what we publish.
What we do
We write plain-English articles about insects: identification, behavior, anatomy, and pest control. Each one starts with a real question, the kind of thing people type into a search box, and answers it in full. We put the practical details first, the ones most articles skip over.
How our articles are made
Every article begins with the questions readers ask. We build the answer around them, and every article is checked against entomological references and reliable sources before we publish it.
We don't pad our articles to hit a word count. If a question has a short answer, we give you the short answer. If it needs more depth, we explain why.
