The Insect ID Lab provides insect, mite, tick, spider, and other arthropod identification services for Florida residents. We can provide tentative diagnostic services via email, but cannot guarantee accuracy of identification based solely on photos or descriptions. Once arthropod samples or photos have been received, Insect ID Lab personnel will process and identify them. Clients will be sent a comprehensive diagnostic report associated with each submitted sample.

Payment is due before reports can be provided.
