[.uk] Insects That Feed on Trees and Shrubs (Comstock Book) (ISBN 0801426022)



This is a much needed and fabulous manual.:
When trying to identify a particular problem with growing trees or shrubs knowing what kinds of insects are possible culprits is a major step. This book gives us, in color photos and descriptions, most of the common larvae that can be found feeding on the particular plants. Even Entomology texts often refuse to deal with larvae of insects, keeping only the adults in the keys and descriptions (even though the adults are often not pests!). This guide will be a welcome addition to any plant clinic, grower, or Entomology professor or student's bookshelf.


Well worth it!:
This book is on my "short list" of essential references. Species are covered in clear, concise descriptions. This well organized volume makes hunting for similar species as easy as turning a page. The photos? I can't say enough about the clear, photos that make insect identification a good deal easier! While an excellent book for the landscape professional, scientist, or advanced gardener, beginners might be a bit overwhelmed by the technical language and scientific names.


Bugs are a hit!:
This book is a definitive study of insects that feed on trees and shrubs. We are a horticultural family and need to know "the inside dope" on bugs. Excellent info!
