Dover publications has several nature related books full of black and white
drawings. I scan them and make my own clip art. If you'd like to send me
a list of specific species I can:

a) send you a uuencoded gif file via e-mail

b) send you a mac disk with pict files (send a ssa, please)

A scanner is a wonderful tool. I recommend you convince your place of business
to buy you one, then invest in the very in expensive Dover public domain
collections and you're set for life...
