“La culture ce n’est pas avoir le cerveau farci de dates, de noms ou de
chiffres, c’est la qualité du jugement, l’exigence logique, l’appétit de la
preuve, la notion de la complexité des choses et de l’arduité des
problèmes. C’est l’habitude du doute, le discernement dans la méfiance, la
modestie d’opinion, la patience d’ignorer, la certitude qu’on n’a jamais
tout le vrai en partage; c’est avoir l’esprit ferme sans l’avoir rigide,
c’est être armé contre le flou et aussi contre la fausse précision, c’est
refuser tous les fanatismes et jusqu’à ceux qui s’autorisent de la raison;
c’est suspecter les dogmatismes officiels mais sans profit pour les
charlatans, c’est révérer le génie mais sans en faire une idole, c’est
toujours préférer ce qui est à ce qu’on préférerait qui fût.”
(Jean Rostand, Le droit d’être naturaliste, 1963).

> identification keys that have been published worldwide for insects in the
> orders Neuroptera, Megaloptera, Raphidioptera, and Glosselytrodea. While
> the taxon focus of the new resource may not find too wide of an audience in

> at this point), and also to receive comments on the site-particularly with
> respect to the variety and functionality of the search and key list
> generating capabilities-with an eye toward identifying areas where
> additions and/or improvements could be made in the future. More information
> about the capabilities of the site can be found in the Abstract and
> Introduction at the link above.

>
> In addition to helping find keys, the Terminal Taxa tables provided for

> nomenclature/taxonomy used in each key to the modern nomenclature/taxonomy
> of the world Neuropterida as reflected in the Neuropterida Species of the
> World catalogue. These tables can be used to manually annotate and update
> copies of any of the included Neuropterida keys to reflect the current
