Gave this to my 8 year old daughter and wow? We love this book
This is the best book ever. My daughter has been catching all sorts of bugs and finally she’s able to identify them, she carries the book everywhere likes it’s her Bible or something. she does not go anywhere without that book, this thing is awesome. it has a ton of pictures and gives all the names that the insects go by and if they don’t go by name it just gives you their Latin official name pretty great book got to be the best If you found this helpful could you click “helpful” below so that I know that I’m not wasting my time filling these things out. Thanks
Excellent Book!
I actually requested that the local library consider buying a copy. They did and I checked it out. WOW. Excellent photos and I have been able to identify many insects on the North Olympic Peninsula. I ordered the book a few days after I checked the library copy out. Per Amazon order info, mine should be arriving in a few days so I will return the library copy. Photos are excellent, descriptions etc. I think anyone interested in identifying and learning more about insects will enjoy this book and likely keep a copy handy to pick up and see whatever they are trying to identify.
Great book for amateur or pro.
The organization or grouping of insects makes it easy to narrow down possible identification. Brief descriptions give a good overview without bogging you down in detail or terminology. A very enjoyable field book, which I have also used in a lab.
One of my favorite bug books now
This is the most complete book on the subject of insects and other land arthropods in the Pacific Northwest I've seen. It is my go to ID resource.
Nothing compares
I spent a lot of time in a bookstore looking at all the insect books, and none of the others for the Pacific Northwest have a good range of species. This guide has a lot, and excellent identification information. The only first choice for an insect guide in this region.
Best insect guide for amateurs and professionals alike!
I've barely cracked open the book, but can already see that the photographs are plenty and well-done, and the accompanying text is excellent. I have bought nature related guides all my life, and as far as insects go (and yes, they also include non-insects, such as spider and isopods) I have seen none to beat this book's thoroughness and quality.
Fabulous! Usefully organized, great photos and descriptions
This delightful book is a treasure for any hiker or gardener curious about the insects of our region. Hard to put down once you turn a page.
Beautiful color photos
I do wish more reference books would spiral bind their books, this is bound the normal way. The colors are beautiful and it is easy to find the section with the insect you are trying to find.
An excellent guide
A detailed and useful guide that has helped me identify many of the fascinating insects in this region.
Informative
Good pictures, and descriptions. A handy bug book to have!
