Description
Book SynopsisBugs can sometimes really bug you. On the flip side, they pollinate crops, provide food for birds and other wildlife, produce honey and other useful things, and serve as bellwether indicators of our environment's health. This book profiles over 60 crawling and flying bugs commonly found in homes, gardens, and yards in Georgia and the Southeast.
Trade ReviewJim Howell's Hey, Bug Doctor! is a useful and fascinating exploration of insects. It gives us new appreciation of the six- and eight-legged creatures that share our southern heritage. Jim combines his scientific training with his southern upbringing to write an engaging look at the insects (and a few other buglike creatures) that surround us. He's been chewed by chiggers and feasted on by fleas, but Jim brings a sense of enthusiasm to each bug that bites him. Insects, whether good, bad, or beautiful, all intrigue him. - Walter Reeves, host of Georgia Public Television's Gardening in Georgia
