5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
This review is from: The Gardener's Bug Book (Hardcover)
If you can get a copy of this book, do so. You'll be doing yourself a favor. This is an excellent book for pest identification in gardens. One caveat-DO NOT FOLLOW THE CONTROL RECOMMENDATIONS. This book was last published in 1976, and the controls are seriously outdated. However, it is still the best book for pest ID's in the garden or around the house available.

Solid life cycle information, good crop info, buy it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gardener's Bug Book (Hardcover)
One of the basic books on serious gardener`s
bookcases despite the outdated pesticide recommendations *which should not be followed*.
Valuable because of the wide range of insect species described for many, many crops (everything
from corn to rubber plants, sage to daisies, roses to lawn grasses) and the life cycle information
included make this the best book I've found for
figuring out rational methods for pest control.
Few drawings, but good descriptions of the species`mean that this book should probably be used in conjunction with a good field guide, like
Borror's _Insects_ volume (#19 in Peterson Field Guide Series).
A publisher who would update and reissue this volume would be doing gardeners a big favor.
