Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Winner of the National Outdoor Book Award in Nature Guidebooks"
"This is a beautiful book, big enough to include multiple photographs of all the known, and until recently, a few unknown flower flies, yet small enough to be carried into the field in a largish pocket or small satchel."---Randy Lauff, The Canadian Field-Naturalist
"This is an excellent work resulting from considerable effort on the part of all the authors, supported by the contributions of numerous photographers. As the first popular treatment of any family of North American Diptera, it has set a remarkably high standard to follow. It should encourage interest there in Syrphidae and in Diptera in general."---Peter Chandler, Entomologist's Gazette
"This book should certainly increase popular interest in these most beautiful and biologically significant flies in the study area covered, and hopefully even further afield. . . . The book promises to be very useful for specialists as well as general naturalists, especially for those involved in education and conservation."---Andrew Wakeham-Dawson, Entomologist's Monthly Magazine
