This is an Excellent new Tiger Beetle volume!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Northeastern Tiger Beetles: A Field Guide to Tiger Beetles of New England and Eastern Canada (Paperback)
This is the second exceptional volume to come out recently on a regional tiger beetle fauna, providing an outstanding companion to Knisley & Schultz's volume on the tiger beetles of the South Atlantic states. The volume is well-written and includes much basic information that would be helpful for the beginning cicindelist on tiger beetle biology, the nature of species, and collecting and preparation techniques. Cautions are also included against collecting endangered or protected species, with strong and specific advice on photographic techniques for these. More advanced materials include keys to both adults and third-instar larvae. Each species is described, and key identifying characteristics are underlined for easy reference; distinguishing characteristics from similar species are included for each, which is a big help for a beginner. The volume is profusely illustrated with line drawings and a black-and-white reference photograph of each species; color photographs of all species included in the study area are also included in separate plates. Maps showing distributions in the New England States and adjacent Canada are more detailed than those of Knisley & Schultz, and include major rivers and lakes. This is an obligate addition to the library of any serious cicindelist.
