Close to a third of species are primarily leaf chewers, with about the same number of sap suckers. Multiple photos of various life stages and characteristic plant symptoms are included for key species. The text on the facing page, provides basic information on host plants, typical damage caused to plants, distribution, life history, habits, and, where necessary, how to keep "pests" in check - in short the essentials to better understanding, appreciating, and tolerating these creatures. Whether managing, studying, or simply observing insects, identification is the first step - and this book is the key. With it in hand, the marvelous microcosm right outside the house finally comes-fully into view."--BOOK JACKET.

Each chapter introduces an order with a discussion of general natural history and a description of other qualities helpful in distinguishing its various species, while every species’ entry provides a state map showing where it is most likely to be found, a key displaying its seasonal distribution, information about its habitat, and corresponding photos.
