Proof of ability to Identify to genus/tribe/subfamily level
The basic question is. how many can really ID to Subfamily, Tribe, genus level without Pic's on the Nett.
Now I do not profess to know all taxa, but I have a general understanding of the Cerambycidae .
So lets rather, for the sake of this journal post rather keep the discussion to this family.
I note that there are 1619 Identifiers (world wide) on Cerambycidae (current count). Which implies that there are at-least the same amount of people that know the difference between the sub-families, tribes, and genera. (Genera at-least on a regional scale).
I actually wonder how many of the 1500 odd people can give the definition of the sub-families. And further how many can give the differences between the tribes (of the sub-families) or just for interest sake.... give the characteristics of the genera within one Tribe (in there own regional).
Ag, just rambling ...........
