You can post your questions on the forums (pictures can help a lot.) Also see Virginia Tech's ID It page

We do not have staff at CalPhotos that can identify plants and animals, but we do keep a list of resources that might be helpful. Please see Identifying Plants and Animals for resources you can use to identify plants, insects, and other creatures.

We’d like to but it is very difficult to do without specimens; verbal descriptions rarely suffice. If the identification is important to you consult your local library, especially a college or university library, for references used to identify the native or horticultural plants of your area. Illustrations, either photos or line drawings, can be most helpful.

It is unlikely that any staff from Plantlife International will be able to visit the site of a plant to be identified. Firstly, you should use a good identification book, either for basic identification such as Collins Wild Flower Guide, or a more detailed key such as The New Flora of the British Isles, by Clive Stace. The first step is to check that the plant is what you think it is.

This is very hard to do without seeing the fruit directly, but giving certain information might help, such as color of the skin, texture (smooth or russet), shape and size of the fruit, when the fruit is ready for picking (early summer, etc.). We cannot promise a positive identification, but we might be able to eliminate varieties.

The Great Morel takes this question very seriously and cannot answer it knowingly without holding your morels in hand. If you've checked out the picture pages, you should have a pretty good idea of what a "good" morel looks like. However, if you are still uncertain as to what it is you are trying to identify, below are links to a few of the really great sites, which may be able to help you.

I tried to download some data from your site, but there were no files attached to the email sent to me by ePIC Some email clients read text files and place the contents into the body of the email. If only one or two records were downloaded, then the data can easily be overlooked. Check at the bottom of your email to see if the data can be found there.

February is a great month for planting fruit trees, blackberries, grapes and any other bareroot fruit stock that is for our area. During this month, finish transplanting established shrubs, trees and native plants that need to be moved during the dormant season.

Positive I.D. over the phone is difficult. The Hyde Herbarium at UWBG typically has a staff member available for making identifications from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Mondays. The library staff can also recommend a number of books for this purpose. Or look at our recommended Web Resources for Plant Identification and Selection. For mushrooms, we recommend you contact the Puget Sound Mycological Society.

Dig a hole large enough in the soil to fit the whole root comfortably, pat down the soil well and water. Fertilize the soil.

Absolutely not. Pepper flowers are self-pollinated, although occasionally cross-pollinate. However, the result of this crossing will appear only if seed is saved from this year's crop and planted next year. It will not result in off-flavor or differences in fruit characteristics of this year's crop. Yes, although this is not a recommended practice. In the northern parts of the state spring-planted pepper plants can often be carried through to first killing frost without pruning.

I do not collect prints. My knowledge about prints is really bad. If the name of the actor is not written on the print or if the role is not obvious, I don't think I can help you.

We have a special section in the InsectNet.com Forum named What Bug is This? for help on identification. There are many experts there that can help you with the ID. Post a message there. You will get the best results if you have a clear, close up picture of the insect you want to indentify. You must have a Forum account to post messaages or reply to messages. If you do not already have a Forum account, go to the Forum lobby page and click on the 'Please register' link in the upper right corner.

The peer exchange panel of four to five people should include participants from other State research programs. Several additional organizations are likely sources of panel members: FHWA, and other Federal, State, regional or local transportation agencies; the Transportation Research Board (TRB); academic institutions; foundations; or private firms that support transportation research, development, or technology transfer activities.

On all our trips we have a guide on board (in addition to the skipper) who will help you identify the birds we see. At the start of each trip we do a run through of the birds we are most likely to see, identifying features and any special target species. We want to ensure you get the most out of your trip.

APC has an extensive technical group at each location and complete analytical lab for helping you determine the most effective structure you require based on the product you are packaging. They will also help determine the size requirements based on the weight you want packaged.

I am not able to identify a set from a photograph. Although I may have service data for it, I do not have the time it takes to search through dozens or hundreds of service sheets relating to a particular manufacturer. Many service sheets do not have photos, or only have a picture of one of several models covered, so even if I did have the time the chances of success are fairly slim.

We track photos by state registration number if registered with a state, documented boat name if registered with the Coast Guard and lastly by the boat make if it is an unmarked boat. If you are in a sailboat race include your racing sailing number.

Yes. If you were to give us the name and addresses of a dozen of what you would call your “typical” customer, we will plug them into our database, analyze them according to various data sorts and return them to you along with a million more just like them. In addition, we can conduct a dialing campaign to help you contact them.

No, fruits contain high levels of carbohydrates which affect your ketosis level and slow your weight loss.

Smokin' Garlic Tomato Spread is described as "an appetizer jelly made with no added sugar". Use it much like a pepper jelly. A great way to serve it is to mix equal parts of the spread with cream cheese and mix in a food processor or blender. It only takes a couple minutes and makes a great spread for crackers or veggies. Diabetics should be able to have this product because it is sweetened only with fruit juice concentrates so they can use it as a fruit exchange.

Dried fruit is fresh fruit that has been dried naturally in the sun or in dehydration machines. Moisture is removed from the fresh fruit, which makes it more portable and convenient than fresh fruit. However, it does not remove the natural vitamins and antioxidants, making dried fruit as healthy and good for you as fresh fruit!

Yes. Eating fruit with meals may cause indigestion or "heartburn" for some people. However, if you do not have this problem, fruit may be eaten with a meal.

The data from most environmental control computers can be fed directly into manual or computerized graphical tracking programs. In many cases the data can be passed automatically to computerized tracking systems, without the need for re-keying.

Yes, call our nursery on 01243 512004, who specialise in locating the more unusual plant material and they will be able to give you a quote.

ExtraLife will not stop the ripening of bananas. They are green when they arrive in the U.S. Grocery stores often ripen them by putting them in ethylene rooms where they are exposed to ethylene gas until they begin to turn yellow. Then they are put in the produce departments for purchase. Once a banana has been exposed to such a high concentration of ethylene and it sits on the kitchen counter waiting to be eaten, it's difficult to stop the ripening process.

It is hard to diagnose such problems remotely from an e-mail, but we can try to help if we recognize the symptoms. However, to make our job easier, you must give as much detailed information about your tree or bush as possible. Try to include the particular variety name, what rootstock it is on (dwarf, semi dwarf, full size tree), age of the plant, and any other data you may have. Our e-mail address is midfex7@midfex.org
