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-color 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--from aphids and bumble bees to leafhoppers and
mealybugs to woollybears and yellowjacket wasps--and much more.
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, the book is
organized 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. * Revised and expanded edition covers
most of the insects, mites, and other "bugs" one may find in yards
or gardens in the United States and Canada--all in one handy
volume* Features more than 3,300 full-color photos, more than twice
the illustrations of the first edition * Concise, informative text

injuries that they may cause
