Identify insects using body plan analysis, dichotomous keys to order, wing venation, mouthpart type, antennae form, leg and tarsal structure, and confidence levels. Covers the fundamental hexapod body plan verification, a simplified dichotomous key to major orders, wing venation and type analysis, mouthpart classification, antennae morphology, leg specialization and tarsal formula, and a structured confidence assessment framework. Use when you need to identify an unknown insect beyond…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Identify Insect Identify insects using systematic morphological examination, dichotomous keys, and structured confidence assessment. ## When to Use - You have an unknown insect (live, photographed, or preserved) and need to identify it - You want to move beyond order-level placement to family or genus - You are working through a specimen collection and need consistent identification methods - You need to distinguish between visually similar orders or families - You are teaching or learning insect identification and want a structured approach ## Inputs - **Required**: An insect specimen or clear observation (live, photographed, or preserved) - **Required**: Ability to examine fine morphological details (wings, mouthparts, antennae, legs) - **Optional**: Hand lens (10x) or dissecting microscope for fine detail - **Optional**: Entomological field guide or dichotomous key for the region - **Optional**: Forceps and pins for manipulating preserved specimens - **Optional**: Photographs from multiple angles (dorsal, lateral, ventral, frontal) ## Procedure ### Step 1: Verify the Basic Body Plan …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/identify-insect@sha256:76fb78f879b1ec2cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
