Winter World: The Ingenuity of Animal Survival

By Bernd Heinrich
Harper Perennial, 2009

Reprint edition of original 2002 hardcover edition which can be purchased via Amazon.com via private sellers here.

This is a fascinating book which deals with how animals prepare, adapt, and survive freezing temperatures. Although bird, mammal and amphibian species are also covered, there is plenty of information on arthropod winter survival strategies.

INSECTS OF THE SOUTHWEST: Arizona, New Mexico, So. California

By Douglas D. Copeland
Self published by author, 2009

This is a neat photo book. There is no written information, but rather 715 color photographs of dragonflies, beetles, and moths mostly from Southern Arizona. It is an excellent book to have if you are interested in Southwestern insects. Somewhat like having a miniature museum at your fingertips sans collection info.
Available from bioquip (bioquip.com) for $25
