Comprehensive yet compact, authoritative yet easy to understand, this
is the perfect guide for anyone who wants to know more about the
fascinating and diverse insects of North America.
Many insects are difficult even for the experts to identify, but here
readers will find a wealth of information on the amazing observable
behaviors of insects and their fascinating life histories. Naturalists
Kenn Kaufman and Eric R. Eaton use a broad ecological approach rather
than overly technical terms, making the book accessible and easy to use.
Their lively and engaging text emphasizes the insects that are most
likely to draw attention and also includes helpful details on a wide
array of lesser-known but recognizable groups. The guide is lavishly
illustrated, with more than 2,350 digitally enhanced photographs
representing every major group of insects found in North America north
of Mexico.
