Gardens serve as bustling habitats for a diverse array of garden bugs, and even the smallest plots can provide vital refuge for wildlife. However, distinguishing between a Garden Snail and a Strawberry Snail, or recognizing a False Widow Spider from a Harvestman, can be challenging tasks.

These species are organized by family and labeled for easy identification, accompanied by side-by-side artworks for quick comparison and convenient reference both at home and in the field.

Additionally, practical tips on bug houses and implementing wildlife-friendly garden practices are included, empowering wildlife enthusiasts to identify and delve deeper into the fascinating world of our most common species through accurate color illustrations and accessible, informative text.
