A great book to identify bugs. October 16, 1998
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Its a great book but their is one draw back it doesn't tell you which are poisoness and which are not. Other than that it is the best insect spider book around.
 A plethora of information! October 5, 1998

Hopefully this review will be read by the authors.... I am a lover of arachnids and have kept 2 Black and Yellow Argiopes in my terrerium. However, your book states after an Argiope has made her egg sac, she dies. Margie my Argiope has not died, but has continued to live and has made 2 other sacs. It was perplexing to see her continue to make sac after sac, but she is still thriving. Perhaps it is becasue she's been in captivity. Some insight on this phenomenon would be helpful. It would also be helpful if, in the next book, information could be givin as to which spiders are poisonous to humans aside from the Black Widow and Violin spiders. I have a wonderful wolf spider which I hold on a regular basis. If he were to bite me, what can I expect? Thank you for writing such an informative book. It also makes for good bedside reading material.Sincerely, T. Gripp
A good book for identifying an insect. June 15, 1998

Although not filled with information on insects in general, it has basically all of the North American insects and spiders. Easy to reference and all the bugs have nice pictures, thats why I give this incredible book five stars.
NORTHWESTERN SPIDERS OF THE U.S. May 29, 1998

KEEPING UP WITH ALL THE NEW INSECTS DISCOVERED IT HAS UNITENTIONALLY MISSED ONE THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THEIR NEXT PRINTING. THE HOBO SPIDER HAS BEEN AN INSECT OF THE NORTHWEST FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, BUT HAS AS YET NOT BEEN RECOGNIZED. THEREFORE THE HAZARDS OF THIS SPIDER ARE NOT KNOWN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE MISTAKEN IT FOR ANOTHER SPIDER (THE BROWN RECLUSE )WITCH ON SOME OCASIONS HAS BEEN TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE PERSON BITTEN BY IT (THE HOBO) IT WOULD BE INVALUABLE TO MANY TO ALSO INCLUDE SOME OF THE WARNING SIGNS OF ALL INSECTS AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR IF THEY ARE BITTEN BY ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WHEN OUT OF DOORS.

This is a great book for anyone interested in Insects and is especially good for school projects. It has about 800 full-color photos and descriptions of many Norht American Insects ans Spiders. Compared to the steep price at bookstores of $19.00, the $13.00 price is a steal. A must have for all insect lovers
