Objectives
1. Detail the diagnostic characters of groups forming the minimum required taxonomic resolution for the OBBN
2. Show many specimens from each group to provide an understanding of the variability within groups
3. Build required skills (understanding of terminology and anatomy) to skillfully use keys and pursue family-level certification through NABS
