Recensioni
When I worked as a health inspector, this was a useful book.
Very useful for creating new names from Latin and Greek, mainly.
I particularly like how Borror's collections include multiple versions of songs and notes, along with being organized by the sound of songs, so that birding "by ear" is made easier.

Peterson Field Guides are the best. I purchased this one used a few years back, maybe around 2015, but I'm not too happy with this it. This is a hardback library discard. I prefer paperbacks with these types of books. Oh, well!
There are a lot of colored photos and drawings, but strangely there are more black and white photos. I haven't really used it extensively to try and identify any insects with it....cause I forgot I had it. We've got plenty of bugs here in Southeast Texas to bring this little book on a test run. I guess I'll update this review later on. As far as looks goes, with quality photos, this one gets about an average 3-stars for now.… (altro)
