How to search?

Basically, there are two methods for searching our database:

If like to see thumbnails by family, use our Thumbnail index. You can easily browse all available species in our database.

If you know the species name (dutch, english or scientific) you can search by keyword. If your search is correctly spelled, and it does not give any results, this means that the species is not yet in our database.
