Dr Ken's pest images

This is a joint venture between InterNachi and PaDIL (Pests and Diseases Image Library) to make freely available high quality, diagnostic images to many of the major pests in America. I have also added in some exotic species that do not occur in America in case they turn up. You can:

  • View individual species webpages
  • View images that compare the species
  • You can use the images - but please acknowledge PaDIL
  • Plus a wide range of information about the species
