Abstract
This field guide is a handy little pamphlet that interested naturalists can easily bring anywhere with them to help identify common insects around the Pacific northwest. the field guide starts with a small amount of information about what an insect is, how insects grow, and why insects are important. It has attractive macro photos of 55 species (although the publisher’s website [Harbour Publishing 2018] says there are more than 60) organized in 19 taxonomic orders. A very short description of the species (or sometimes, of the order) next to each image provides a bit of background about the species. Its glossy, laminated finish would stand up to some light precipitation, but would not last in any significant rain. this field guide is clearly targetted towards amateur naturalists interested in learning some of the basics about insect ecology and identification in the Pacific northwest and, from that perspective, it is excellent.
