Errata

Stephen Taber emailed me to point out that the specimen on page 75 appears to be Milesia scutellata rather than M. virginiensis. See also his comment here.

Yes, saw that

Yes, I saw his note. I corrected the guide pages where I had used that as a reference, I believe.

Insects of the Texas Lost Pines

Thanks Patrick, I ordered one from Amazon.
I have had my copy for several days now. The best feature is that they give you more information than most fieldguides, more information on the biology and life history of the insects. However all of the photos are black and white and a lot of them are of pined
insects.
Still a good book to have in your collection.
