    Synopsis

    National Wildlife Federation’s new all-photographic field guide to North American insects, spiders, and related species, is the most up-to-date of its kind, and lets both amateur and expert naturalists identify more than 940 species quickly and accurately. More than 2,000 close-up color photographs by leading nature photographers reveal the field marks that distinguish each creature, and the clear and concise text that accompanies each image describes the range, habitat, life cycle, and behavior. Budding entomologists will be inspired to explore further with the detailed information on starting a collection, planting an arthropod garden, keeping insects and spiders in captivity, and learning the techniques of macro photography. The unique waterproof cover makes it ideal for use outdoors.

    Just what I was looking for.by mommyduckie

    October 27, 2009: We recently retired to a SC and encountered many new insects in our environment-some of them dangerous-like Black Widows and Brown Recluses.

    This book has been a huge help in identifying what we need to be careful of and what is merely creepy looking! Easy browsing and terrific pictures.

    I also bought the Field Guide for Snakes to help identify the poisonous ones...

    October 10, 2009: My 4th grade child had to do a science project on bugs. 12 bugs had to be collected, bagged, identified and presented in a theme on poster board. I had already picked out an excellant source online and went to my local B&N to pick it up. While there I thumbed through the NWF book and saw what a great source it was. I compared it to my other choice and saw that it had the most pictures & descriptions. It also has beautiful photography, interesting info, easy to read and is laid out so that the bugs can be quickly looked up & identified. I don't even like bugs but I was fasinated by what I learned. My child got an A on her project!
