I'm working my way through it too, and I really like it. It's not so
much a book for identifying theall different insects (although the
photos are wonderful). But it does have a lot of good information
about making a more welcoming world for them. The book's production
values are excellent too.
Another one I'm reading is "Insects and Gardens" by Eric Grissell, a
research entomologist and an amateur gardener. He writes that "we
gardeners do not apply the principles that govern biology, ecology,
the environment. . . or whatever term you wish to call the world that
has not yet been invaded and manipulated by humans." The book is
about learning to apply those principles, especially in regards to
insects, so that we can work with nature rather than fighting against
her constantly. He's a very good writer, and the photographs are
beautiful.
