I have always found Jessica Walliser's gardening books to be so useful, but this one takes the prize. The photos of the bugs--good and bad--and what their damage looks like is invaluable when trying to figure out what course of action to take in your garden. I took this book out to my garden and flipped through its pages looking for a picture that matched my plant damage--flea beetles! And again--cucumber beetles! I feel like not only am I learning to identify insects, but I am better managing my vegetable garden, organically. Jessica's advice for "Live biological controls" and "Preventive actions" and "Organic product controls" for each pest tell you exactly what to do when something is attacking your plants. I highly recommend this book for any gardener wanting to learn, before reaching for the spray bottle.

This book serves as a helpful guide to identifying common garden bugs. Although I bought it for myself, my 9 year old son, who is a bug lover, read it, too. Good quality pictures make identifying the bugs easy and there is an extremely useful section on the types of plants each bug likes and its natural predators. Written in lay terms and includes concise but helpful facts. This book is good for gardeners, especially if you are trying to control bugs without the use of insecticides.

Finally!
A straightforward book about pests and beneficial insects for gardeners. I have looked for a book like this for twenty years!
GOOD BUG, BAD BUG has great pictures and brilliant information about each pest, including what their damage looks like, what plants they attack, how to prevent attacks, and how to control attacks organically. Better yet, it has an equally awesome section for beneficial insects, with pictures, detailed information, and tips on how to attract them and keep them in your garden.
With a great introduction and a very useful glossary, and spiral bound to last a long time, this book just plain ROCKS.
