"single most useful reference to the bugs"

Henry & Froeschner (1988) write:

Blatchley's (1926) "Heteroptera of Eastern North America" is probably the single most useful reference to the bugs of the U.S. and Canada. Although more than 60 [now 80] years out of date, its broad coverage with keys to families, genera, and species, accompanied by numerous valuable biological notes and illustrations, makes this volume a necessary point of reference for the North American fauna. Even though Blatchley covers only the eastern part of our region, his keys, notes, and introductory remarks provide a much broader perspective."
