Books

These are the books that I own and that I used as references for my web pages.

National Audobon Society Field Guide to North American Insects & Spiders, Alfred A. Knopf, 1997.

Pond Life: A Guide to Common Plants and Animals of North American Ponds and Lakes by Dr. George K. Reid, Golden Press, 1967. A book chock full of information.

This book is a great to have with photos of many dragonflies:
Dragonflies Through Binoculars: A Field Guide to Dragonflies of North America by Sidney W. Dunkle, Oxford University Press, 2000.


Aquatic Insect Links

Insect site - drawings of some aquatic insects and information on them. This is an Australian site but the basic orders of insects occur there as well as in the US. All that is different is the specific species found. This is an archived version of the web site as it no longer exists. The main page exists but any reference to insects is gone from the site.

Dragonfly page - based in Texas, with real photos of the species present in that area.

Water Bugs - a water bug page with drawings and information.

Insect drawings - line drawings of various insect larvae including dragonflies, caddisflies, mayflies, mosquitoes, stoneflies, a few beetles, and more. This is an archived version of the site as it no longer exists even though it was a very useful site. The gif's are still in the archive.
