Insect collectors, breeders, photographers, and other nature hobbyists will find this book useful when searching for the walkingsticks of North America. The masterful camouflage of stick insects intrigues anyone who is fortunate to find and recognize one in the field. This guide provides data on known regions of inhabitation, host plant preferences, and characters to distinguish the various species. Also included are reprints of classic entomological studies on our native stick insects: systematics, natural history, and behavior.
