Rodale Organic Gardening Books — Good Bug, Bad Bug: Your Take-Along Insect Identification Guide

Rodale 1999 Booklet, 63pp. No one wants pests in their yard and garden. Yet at one time or another, we’ve all had to deal with insects that eat holes in our favorite flowers, vegetables, or fruit. Maybe they’ve even led you to exterminate your entire yard. But that’s not the answer. After all, the pest insects that eat our treasured ornamentals and rob a share of the vegetable harvest are only a tiny fraction of the total insect population around us. Many bugs are actually beneficial in their roles as crop pollinators, pest predators, and plant-material decomposers. So why not get to know who’s visiting your garden? You’ll find that the most important part of keeping a garden healthy is being able to recognize your garden friends and foes. Paper cover is worn. Fair.
