Where do I go to have an insect identified?

First, check the University of California's Integrated Pest Management website. It is a valuable tool for the identification and management of a wide variety of pests. If you need further assistance, bring a specimen to our office for identification by our staff. If we cannot identify the insect, we can send to the CDFA lab for identification.
