Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America by Eric R Eaton

Comprehensive yet compact, authoritative yet easy to understand, this is the perfect guide for anyone who wants to know more about the fascinating and diverse insects of North America.

Many insects are difficult even for the experts to identify, but here readers will find a wealth of information on the amazing observable behaviors of insects and their fascinating life histories. Naturalists Kenn Kaufman and Eric R. Eaton use a broad ecological approach rather than overly technical terms, making the book accessible and easy to use. Their lively and engaging text emphasizes the insects that are most likely to draw attention and also includes helpful details on a wide array of lesser-known but recognizable groups. The guide is lavishly illustrated, with more than 2,350 digitally enhanced photographs representing every major group of insects found in North America north of Mexico. 

Kenn Kaufman is the creator of the Kaufman Field Guide series, which includes volumes on birds, butterflies, mammals, and insects. He is one of the world's most well-known bird experts. He's also the author of Lives of North American Birds and the classic Kingbird Highway, as well as two birding autobiographies, Flights Against the Sunset and Flights Against the Sunset. Kenn is a field editor for Audubon and a frequent contributor to birding periodicals such as Bird Watcher's Digest, WildBird, and Birder's World. Rocky Ridge, Ohio is where he and his wife, Kim, call home.
