For Love of Insects

By Thomas Eisner
Belknap Press, 2003

A former entomology prof of mine showed me his copy and I ordered it the next day!. Eisner is a a professor of Chemical Ecology at Cornell and has a wonderful knack for writing and photography as well! If you are interested in insect defenses, camouflage, etc. this book is for you! It is scientific but written with the layperson in mind. He has a great sense of humor, too.

Garden Insects of North America : The Ultimate Guide to Backyard Bugs (Princeton Field Guides)

By Whitney Cranshaw
Princeton University Press, 2004

This 600+ page book is good in that it breaks down insects into plants, trees, and fruit that they live on. There are numerous photographs of the different stages of growth for many species, which I prefer over just a shot of adult specimens.
