 On par with all the Audobon Guides August 30, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Very informative like all the Audobon Guides, and lots of photos, which really helps. Only caveat is that I'd like to see them have several volumes to cover ALL insects in North America, as there are too many to cover in just this one guide. Although I am aware that they have separate guides for butterflies.

Absolutely wonderful !!! my dinnette has windows to the West and North, and every morning while having my coffee I find myself referring to it as the butterflies and bees and birds share my lovely flowering trees and bushes...along with the ground squirrels, chip monks, rabbits and multiple birds.....if people could only take their example, it could be a better world.

As with all the Audubon Field Guides, so with this one: The color photos are the best of the guides; the durable construction with leatherette cover is very good; and the information is generally accurate and descriptive. The index is organized to cross refererence the color plates with the descriptions - it's pretty straight forward when looking up a bug. Yet, the summaries, as in all the Audubon books, are just too brief; this may be the most glaring of its deficiencies. Any future edition could use a fleshing out on the details.
The Audubon books are better than the Stokes and Peterson guides. As a general all round guide, these books have a place in any naturalist's library.

Good quality, very comprehensive book with great color pictures. It could benefit from telling you if the creatires pose any threat to humans or are poisonous, as that's why I bought it!
How to find a spider! December 23, 2006
I bought this book to look up a particular spider that I get at my house each summer. The book gave me the name and I looked up poison information on the net. The pictures are great and I am very happy with it. This year, we got a different type of spider and this book did not list it, but as a guide to the major varieties, it is the best...
