This web site is about entomology, the study of insects. Here you will find resources mainly focused on the insects in the San Francisco Bay area.

You can learn about insects and how to collect them under Insect Basics. If you would like to identify a local insect, there is a search tool under Search for an Insect or you can check our "Top Ten" asked about insects page. Got a question you can't answer? Look through our question and answer database. Teachers will find useful tools and activities in the Teacher's corner. We have also collected additional Resources for your reference. While you are navigating through our site, see What's new at Citybugs! For more information about the project, see About Us.

Citybugs is a collaborative outreach project between UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources and the Oakland Unified School District in California. Entomologists and teachers worked together to create this website in the hope of helping people to appreciate and enjoy the world of insects around us.
