Thanks Jim
I am in the process of trying to find Yanega's guide. If I can't find it, I will contact INHS or is it out of print now?

INHS still has it

Update
I ordered the guide through INHS. Currently unavailable at Amazon and could not find elsewhere, new or used.

By golly you're right!
I checked my four favorite used book sites and found nothing. It's a book well worth having. It's almost comprehensive for my area and will probably ID most species where you are. Best of all (for me) no technical anatomic keys to follow!

Can be ordered online
Bioquip is selling Yanega's book for $22.95 (hardcover only). You can buy it at bioquip.com.

But note that there's a $25.00 order minimum so that you'll need to buy something else as well to make the minimum.

Cheaper at INHS
According to the above link provided by Chad C Davis, INHS is selling it for just $15. BioQuip is convenient one-stop shopping, but if you can find the same items elsewhere, they are considerably less costly.
