Whatever you do, don't leave it on the shelf!" Jeff Lowenfels, author of Teaming with Microbes: a Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web, April 21, 2014...Got a new book last week called "Good Bug, Bad Bug," by Jessica Walliser. It has pictures which are fabulous when identifying bugs. Descriptions alone just don't cut it. Walliser describes 27 pests and 14 beneficials as well as having a glossary and a source directory. "Source directory," you ask? Yes, because the best part of this little show-and-tell book is every pest has a picture, a description of their life cycle, what plants they like, which beneficials like to eat them (otherwise known as biological controls) and preventative actions that can be taken (or bought). Hence, the source directory. Ms. Walliser is the co-author of "Grow Organic" and her preventative actions range from cut the leaf or damaged part off to using non-caustic botanical oils and neem on the affected plants. Using this book helped me identify some pests as well as some beneficials in my own garden. Walliser is very complimentary to ladybugs as they consume most of the larvae of pests before they get to be adult problems. My ladybugs will be making their mail order appearance sometime this week., "An entomological tour de force.

    Item arrived well packaged as the seller assured it would be. Thank you very much for that!! To all the other sellers out there…..bubble wrap goes a long way just saying. I have had several packages arrive damaged due to poor packaging knowing that today’s carriers don’t care what’s in the bag or box. Seller responded quickly when I had initially reached out to them about assuring it would be well packaged and protected. Item arrived in the new condition it was listed as. Thank you.

    Helpful bug book for gardeners

    A clearly organized and presented list of bugs in the garden, both good and bad. A well illustrated page for each. Information on how to deal with them. Not overwhelming.

    Needs more content.

    Sounds like it would be helpful but not nearly enough coverage of all the bugs that gardeners experience

    VERY disappointed

    I was really excited to read this book, the disappointment started AFTER I started reading it. For intense gardeners, this is a boring book, gives very few bugs, no big variety, I expected lots of different bugs that affect the most common of garden plants, how to deal with them organically, what to do to keep away etc. Boring book gave to my grandaughter!
