Milkweed, Monarchs and More: A Field Guide to the Invertebrate Community in the Milkweed Patch
By Ba Rea, Karen Oberhauser, Michael Quinn
Bas Relief Publishing Group, 2003
ISBN: 0965747220
Cite: 2797 with citation markup [cite:2797]
Spiffy little book illustrating insects (and a few other arthropods) that frequent milkweeds and other meadow flowers of North America. Excellent photographs, with detailed identifications using scientific names. Especially nice is the Gallery of Ladybug Beetles, illustrating some common members of that family. Detailed notes on ecology. This book is a gem, and a bargain at $9.00 list.
