Garden Insects of North America
Whitney Cranshaw & David Shetlar
This second edition of Garden Insects of North America solidifies its place as the most comprehensive guide to the common insects, mites, and other bugs found in the backyards and gardens of the United States and Canada. Featuring 3,300 full-colour photos and concise, detailed text, this fully revised book covers the hundreds of species of insects and mites associated with fruits and vegetables, shade trees and shrubs, flowers and ornamental plants, and turfgrass. This new edition also provides a greatly expanded treatment of common pollinators and flower visitors, the natural enemies of garden pests, and the earthworms, insects, and other arthropods that help with decomposing plant matter in the garden.
Designed to help you easily identify what you find in the garden, Garden Insects of North America is organised by where insects are most likely to be seen: on leaves, shoots, flowers, roots, or soil. Photos are included throughout the book, next to detailed descriptions of the insects and their associated plants.
An indispensable guide to the natural microcosm in our backyards, Garden Insects of North America continues to be the definitive resource for amateur gardeners, insect lovers, and professional entomologists. 704 pages.
