I'm always a little reluctant to recommend books as I don't know if they will appeal to anyone else. Anyhow, I think it's a super. Patrick, good to hear that the frog/toad book is so good. I might get a copy. It might help cheer me up in winter when I miss hearing the frogs (I do volunteer frog surveys quite frequently, so it's part of what summer is all about!). - robin - I've always wished that I was better with bird songs. I'm not bad, but not that great either. Lang Elliott has some similar bird books as well, so I'm thinking of getting one of them to help me associate the songs with the photos. If the photos in the bird book are as good as these insect photos, it owuld definitely make an impression. And yes! The symphony of unknown artists! I like that!

I have been thinking lately about the birds I hear, but never see. It's interesting how hard it is for me to identify birds solely by their song. Now, I can add the lovely music of these insects to the symphony I hear all around me, artists unknown! That does look like a great book, bev.

(Yours?) Yes, it's great. I've not been able to get such clear photos and it is wonderful to attach a named insect to some of the noises in our meadows.

I love it! Lang Elliott's frog/toad book is also wonderful. I got the book the other night. I love it! Lang Elliott’s frog/toad book is also wonderful.
