    Great informational book

    We moved to Texas two years ago and were amazed at the number and variety of bugs here. This book helps us identify them, and shows which bugs are beneficial to the environment and which are true pests. The photos are excellent showing adult bugs, bugs in the larval stage and some photos of the damage they can do. Each bug listing tells about habitat, feeding habits, economic importance, natural control, organic control, etc. If you live in Texas, this is a great reference book to have on hand.
