Photo credits
The pest guide uses real photographs of every species rather than illustrations. This page names each photographer and links the licence their image was released under.
Most of these photographs are published under Creative Commons licences, which allow commercial use on the condition that the photographer is credited and the licence is linked. Each pest page carries the short credit under its photo; the full list is below.
Photographs are sourced from Wikimedia Commons. Images marked public domain or CC0 carry no attribution requirement, but the photographer is named here anyway. Every image has been resized and compressed for the web; none has been altered otherwise.
