Field Book of Insects is a compact 1935 natural history guide by Frank E. Lutz, written for curious readers who want a practical, browseable introduction to insect life in the United States and Canada.
It reads like an old-school field companion: identification help, common questions answered, and a steady mix of reference text with charming period illustrations.
This copy includes color plates and hundreds of illustrations, with the kind of red cloth cover that looks especially good on a nature shelf.
