The Prairie Gardener's Book of Bugs is presented in two parts.
In Living with Bugs gardeners will learn about bugss similarities, differences, and lifecycles; their collective importance to the health of a garden; diagnosing trouble; cultural controls; and the "Pandora's bottle" of pesticides.
In Bug Profiles entries are grouped by a distinguishing characteristic (aerialist vs. ground dweller) or by the type of plants they attack (conifers, deciduous trees, plants, veggies, fruit). Each entry has a "Bug at a Glance" section that summarize the type of bug, its size, what it looks like, where you find it, when you find it, what it eats, whether it is friend or foe, and what to do about it. This is followed by a more detailed "bug bio" that elaborates on the bug's lifecycle, its habits, and how best to deal with them.
Each bug is beautifully depicted in full-colour drawings by talented illustrator Grace Buzik.
