Personally he have found WIKIPEDIA - The Free Encyclopedia to be a very useful website over time.
Wikipedia is certainly a good starting-point for finding out information and learn many interesting things, which you must then check against other sources, because some articles might have errors, incoherencies, and bias in them. You also should be aware that some great non-biased articles here may have been marked as being biased, and there are also some hoaxes to trick you. Please, see Criticism of Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is a good idea because it can be edited by anyone and it is free. It is also an interesting exercise (like a strategy computer game).
The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus), is a species of bark beetle in the true weevil family, Curculionidae. It is found in Europe and Asia Minor and east to China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea. Bark beetles are so named because they reproduce in the inner bark, living and dead phloem tissues, of trees. Their preferred trees in which to reside include spruces, firs, pines and larches. The species has the ability to spread quickly over large areas and some scientists hypothesize that long-distance movements originating from the Iberian Peninsula may have contributed to its invasion of northern Norway spruce forests. This female European spruce bark beetle was photographed in Naninne in the province of Namur, Belgium.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
