Need help identifying beetles?
Get new Clemson publication

     CLEMSON - If you're interested in the beetles of South 
Carolina, especially ground beetles, then Clemson University's
Agriculture and Forestry Research System has a new publication 
with you in mind.
     It is TB 1101, "Ground Beetles and Wrinkled Bark Beetles 
of South Carolina." The cost is $20.
     It has drawings to aid in identifying 479 species that have 
been found in or are likely to occur in South Carolina.
     "It was written because, until now, there was no single book 
that would permit identification of ground beetles from the 
Southeast" said Janet Ciegler, the book's author.
     The first in a new "Biota of South Carolina" series, this 
book should make it possible for any serious collector, amateur 
or professional, to identify any ground beetles found in this 
state. 
     This publication may be obtained through local Clemson 
Extension offices or by ordering on the Internet at:
http://cufan.clemson.edu/olos/, with a Visa or MasterCard. 
You may also order through U.S. mail by sending a check or
money order, payable to Clemson University, to The Bulletin Room, 
Room 96, Poole Agricultural Center, Clemson University, Clemson, 
SC 29634-0129. 
      There are no taxes, shipping or handling charges for 
this publication.
