Tree and Shrub Insects of the Prairie Provinces: Information Report NOR-X-292
1992327 pages. "More than 600 species of insects and mites that feed on trees and shrubs in the prairie provinces are discussed in terms of their distribution, hosts, and importance, life cycle and appearance and damage. There are approximately 1100 colour photographs; the life cycle and damage of major pest species are illustrated, and for less important species, primarily the larval stage is shown. Pests attacking coniferous hosts are separated from those attacking hardwoods, and each group is subdivided according to the kind of feeding damage and type of insect involved. Includes an extensive bibliography. A taxonomic index lists the order and family of each insect or mite. A diagnostic index lists the host species, feeding site of the pest, and species of insect or mite involved." - from Abstract. Light to moderate wear.
