I don't know it you noticed ...
I was surprised when I received it, assuming it's a "field-guide" ... it's a BIG BOOK. You will not be disappointed. Wait until you see how many of Tom Murray's photos were used :)

I can't believe it ...
The first time I've seen anything like this and they pull a switch-a-roo on me. I still can't believe I'm seeing so many beetles for the first time. I'm wondering if it could be related to all the HEAVY rain we've be having.
