1. Introduction

In this Dichotomous key example of Insects, insect keys are designed as dichotomous, or paired, couplets. A couplet is a choice between 2 options based on a description of a particular feature. Example: the size of wings, size of rear legs, etc., and one can choose which option best matches the insect being identified. This choice leads to another couplet. The process continues until the user reaches a final couplet that identifies the insect.
