3.0 out of 5 stars Nice pictures, but not enough knowledge or species covered, 30 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This is a good book and the pictures are beautiful, but most insects that I find aren't in this book. They only cover 700 species in the U.S. and Canada, which is too few. If you're just curious or just starting to study insects this is a good book for you, but if you're more science-oriented or advanced in your entymology, then the Peterson's guide may be a better choice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty pictures, 5 May 1999
By A Customer
This book has a decent array of insects, however its spiders section is definately lacking. I enjoy identifying the spiders and insects I see everywhere I go and I don't even bother to bring this book with me since I can never find a match. The pictures are very nice though, I wish more field guides had pictures instead of drawings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, 19 Oct 1998
By A Customer
A wonderful book for learning more about our everyday household friends (especially the unwelcome ones). Plus I *finally* get to see a photograph of the dreaded brown recluse (violin) spider, which unfortunately many spider books tend to gloss over in favor of more "formidable" ones such as tarantulas and black widows.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book to identify bugs.
Its a great book but their is one draw back it doesn't tell you which are poisoness and which are not. Other than that it is the best insect spider book around.
