Product Description
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.

5 out of 5 stars National Wildlife Federation Field Guide to Insects & Spiders   June 14, 2008
This book is thick & packed full of information, fabulous color pictures(1600 of them), diagrams and so many different insect species, including spiders. Top of the pages have a color coded quick-flip index. This book is FANTASTIC! If you're fascinated by bugs or curious to know "what kind of bug is that", this is your book!! Don't let this one get by you!!! :)


5 out of 5 stars My favorite field guide   May 3, 2008
This is my favorite field guide (I also have Peterson's and Audobon's). The pictures are good and the range/size/habitat information is listed on the same page. I very much apprecciate not having to flip to alternate pages to get the information that I am looking for. If you are looking for a book that is not in the field I would recommend Insects: Their Natural History and Diversity by Stephen Marshall, but to travel this is my favorite.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome   March 7, 2008
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who does pest control or is interested in the bugs in their area. This book helped to identify uncommon bugs and answered the questions of the people who see them!


5 out of 5 stars Best buy for bug guide   October 6, 2007

A frequent question is why another popular guide on arthropods. There is no doubt that there are a number of excellent examples on the market, but there are so many fascinating species to explore, and when a new guide like Arthur Evans' appears, it is just too good to resist. In fact, I purchased four copies (at Amazon's great price of $13.57 each, and of course shipping was free), just to give as gifts to budding and experienced entomologist friends. I have several books on insects by Arthur Evans, and have learned to acquire anything this scientist publishes. He has mastered the art of natural-history interpretation for lay people.

About 940 species of arthropods are described (names, classification, measurements, field marks, habitat, and many other life-history facts), backed by 1600 high-quality color photographs. The introductory and supplementary chapters, and order synopses are the best I have seen, and I cannot think of any topic that has been left out.

I took this guide on a recent 15-state, arthropod-collecting trip (from Manitoba to Texas, Mississippi to Minnesota) and many of the hundreds of species we captured were readily identified at some level by using this field guide. The author, photographers, National Wildlife Federation, Chanticleer Press, and Sterling Publishers have produced a wonderful guide which will fuel the enthusiasm of a generation of naturalists fascinated by insects and other small creatures of land and water. I only wish there were guides like this one when I was a child. Dr. Robert Wrigley
