Photo Gallery

Welcome to our Photo Gallery of critters and pests–including plant diseases–that you might encounter in the State of Maine, especially those that like to live with us or visit us from time to time. We’ve placed them into categories to hopefully make things easier.  Also, if you have a quality photo of an insect or spider you’d like for us to identify, try out our new Insect or Spider Photo Submission Form!
