A Field Guide to Texas Critters

Rating:
Summary: VERY informative and funny too!
Review: "Critters" is a delightful book and an invaluable resourse for gardeners, homeowners and anyone likely to come in contact with insects. It is beautifully illustrated, informative and a really good read, to boot!

Rating:
Summary: Needs revising
Review: Informative...yes. Entertaining...kinda.
BUT, the author is heavily into chemical solutions. There is no mention of environmental consequences of pesicides, integrated pest management, or organic solutions. Many of the photos were too unfocused, poorly lit, or grainy to be of much use.
This book needs a major overhaul.

Rating:
Summary: Perfect for the average house - entertaining & comprehensive
Review: This book is perfect for Texas homeowners who want to identify, learn about and control bugs. The writing is entertaining and an amazing number of bugs are included. Loads of pictures.
