Book Reviews of National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Insects and Spiders (National Audubon Society Field Guides)
Book Review: You can always count on the National Audobon Society
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. I have the NAS bird field guide and the Mammells field guide as well. My only complaint is that I wish that they would put photos of both the male and female on each of the species. There is such a difference in looks,, and it is very hard to identify a particular species sometimes without seeing both. I have had to go online with my sons several times allready to find out what type of spider we had found in our garage. It was a female Hobo Spider,, which defers from the male quite substantially. Same thing with the bird book.
Other than that,, bravo ! Love it.

Summary of National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Insects and Spiders (National Audubon Society Field Guides)
Spiders, bugs, moths, butterflies, beetles, bees, flies, dragonflies, grasshoppers, and many other insects are detailed in more than 700 full-color photographs visually arranged by shape and color. Descriptive text includes measurements, diagnostic details, and information on habitat, range, feeding habits, sounds or songs, flight period, web construction, life cycle, behaviors, folklore, and environmental impact. An illustrated key to the insect orders and detailed drawings of the parts of insects, spiders, and butterflies supplement this extensive coverage.There are about 100,000 kinds of insects in North America, so obviously they can't have a field guide in the same way the 650 species of birds do: something both portable and complete. The National Audubon Society has produced a remarkably useful compromise. This guide has photographs and descriptions of 550 insect species and 60 kinds of spiders. Most of the families of arthropods on the continent are covered, as are all of the most common species. It's a very useful resource for any North American naturalist, and the best choice for an adult who is not an expert entomologist. --Mary Ellen Curtin
