BUGS & SPIDERS
See a bug? Step on it - it must be bad. See a spider? Dangerous, gotta be killed. WRONG! If you are one of these people, get this book for the whole lowdown. A preying mantis is scary looking to some folks but they do tremendous good by devouring insects that are harmful to many plants. (Pick him up and he will turn his head to look at you, something other insects cannot do). Spiders do a lot of good holding down the insect population, and not all spiders are dangerous to humans so it is important to know which ones to avoid. This book shows pictures of all types to help identify them. For example, the black widow, very poisonous, is easily identified by its shiny black body with a line of red dots down its back, but the male's coloring is completely different - and harmless. A dangerous spider, the brown recluse, is not easy to identify or know where they are found so they can be avoided. This book tells all. I bought this book because I see many bugs and spiders around my yard and garage and always wondered what they were and whether they were harmful. Now I know and I was surprised how many of them were actually beneficial and should be encouraged. This book not only pictures them all but gives full descriptions, habitat, etc, - everything an interested person would want to know.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

What's that?
Not totally inclusive of all insects & spiders, but it is encyclopedic in scope. Wish it had more larvae and/or egg identification content. Thoroughly useful, good photos.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Find your bug in the Audobon Field Guide!
All of the Audubon Society field guides are amazing references. I ordered this one because a friend sent me a picture of a moth to identify for her & I realized I didn’t have a good reference guide for insects. I have 3 guides that include insects, but none of them included the moth in question. Upon receiving this guide; it took less than five minutes to make a positive ID of the wooly bear caterpillar moth. That kind of easy to access & comprehensive reference content gets five stars from me every time!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
