Book Overview

Reflecting a lifetime of devotion to the study of insects, this second edition of Arnet's pioneering and award winning reference provides the most complete single volume reference on the insects of America and Canada available. It masterfully organizes more than 1500 drawings and photos, allowing both the seasoned veteran and budding entomologist to readily determine the taxonomic position of any species, genus, or higher taxon of insect.
