Introduction to Forest & Shade Tree Insects
by: Barbosa, Pedro & Wagner, Michael R.
This comprehenisive text approaches the subject from an ecological/evolutionary
biological perspective. The assumption is that one cannot study forest
insects without understanding the dynamics of the relationship between
an insect and its host plant. This relationship includes knowing what
factors control forest insect populations such as food, food quality,
tree vigor, host selection, and symbiotic relationships. The authors also
discuss tree-injuring insects from the perspective of their influence
on tree physiology and growth as well as economic and commercial effects.
The book represents a "modern" approach to the topic of forest
and shade tree insects; is well-illustrated; and includes a comprehensive
primary reference list. 639 pgs.

Moths of the Limberlost with Original Photographs (But in B/W)
by: Stratton-Porter, Gene
This version of the book is fully illustrated and contains over a hundred
photographs in black & white.Moths of the Limberlost is a fascinating
book written by the well-known American novelist and photographer Gene
Stratton-Porter. It paints a vibrant picture of her delight in the moths
as she loves, cares for, breeds and studies the creatures. The first chapter
is an introduction and the second is an overview of the natural history
of moths, however, it is only marginally technical and she interweaves
the chapter with her own experiences. In the final thirteen chapters she
focuses on one moth per chapter, the moths that have most caught her interest.
It is partly an autobiography as she describes her experiences from childhood
- her delights and joys at successfully breeding them or learning something
new about them and her sadness when they die or don't breed. It describes
her family's help in this passion and the friends she gained through the
pursuit. It is a beautiful window into the person she was and her love
of nature. 212 pgs.
