Field guide to grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets of the United States.

Ithaca: Comstock, 2004. Octavo, paperback, colour plates, text illustrations, maps.

This field guide introduces readers to the biology, behaviour, and ecological significance of one of the most obvious (abundant, large, and colorful) and important (ecologically and economically significant) insect groups in North America, the order Orthoptera. A simple, illustrated identification guide assists the reader in distinguishing among the various groups and narrows down the options to expedite identification. The book treats more than a third of the species found in the United States and Canada in brief, easy-to-understand sections that provide information on distribution, identification, ecology, and similar species. Distribution maps accompany each profile, and 206 species are pictured in color. Black-and-white drawings highlight distinguishing characteristics of some of the more difficult-to-identify species. Sonograms provide a graphic representation of the insects' distinctive sounds, which may be heard on Thomas J. Walker's website (http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu). Also available in hardcover, POA.
