Stouts, millers, and forky-tails (a.k.a. deerfly, moths, and
earwigs) are just three of more than 200 fascinating insects,
spiders, and other arthropods profiled in this book. Youll also
meet weevils, flesh flies, aphids, dragonflies, ticks, bees, giant
water bugs, and many mosquitos. These are the creepy-crawlies in
your garden and in your basement, the annoyances and the biters,
the disease-carriers and the pests. But they are also the
pollinators and the insect friends that are crucial to healthy
ecosystems. Organized by habitat and order, each description gives
key identifying features, life cycle details, as well as the
specific habits and quirks that make each one worthy of study. The
pages are filled with stunning full-colour photographs of each
creature, from gross to gorgeous. Includes up-to-date information
about each species distribution in this province, as well as quick
hits about the latest local research, folk tales, and insect lore.
Insects are the most dominant animal group on the planet. Getting
to know some of this species richness is a journey every
nature-lover or curious mind will enjoy.
