Insects & Bugs of North America Your Way to Easily Identify Insects & Bugs
Your quick guide to identifying insects and bugs
Get the perfect guide to insects and bugs of North America! Keep this tabbed booklet close at hand at home, at the park, on your camping trip, and for any outdoors adventure. Based on noted entomologist Jaret C. Daniels’ popular Backyard Bugs guide and featuring 136 of the most common and important bugs to know, the booklet is organized by where the bugs are generally found—such as at lights or on flowers—and then by type for quick and easy identification. Narrow your choices by location and appearance, and view just a few species at a time. The easy-to-use format means you’ll quickly find what you need to know about ants, bees, beetles, butterflies, dragonflies, spiders, wasps, and more. Plus, the quick guide is much easier to use than laminated foldouts, and the tear-resistant pages help to make the book durable in the field.

About the Author
Adventure Quick Guides are portable, durable, tabbed booklets. Designed for ease of use, these 4.25" x 7.5" spiral-bound guides help readers to quickly identify the things they see in nature: birds, animal tracks, fish, rocks, and more. Species are conveniently organized by such user-friendly categories as color, shape, or group. Readers open the tabs to the correct grouping, where every page features several full-color, professional-quality images, as well as short blurbs of text that provide the basic details needed for positive identification. At around 28 pages per booklet, each quick guide retails for less than $10. Adventure Quick Guides are pocket-sized, so they are convenient to bring along on hikes and other outings, and they generally focus on specific regions within the United States.
