product description Are you new to the Austin area or have a child that always wants to know "What's that?" Even if you've lived here for years, Naturalist's Austin by Lynne Weber and Jim Weber can answer questions you hadn't even thought to ask. After some very informative chapters on the lay of the land and the natural world surrounding us, Lynne Weber and Jim Weber embark on an in-depth survey of the flora and fauna of our area in surprising detail. Naturalist's Austin covers trees, shrubs, wildflowers, vines, ferns and allies, yucca, cacti and allies, grasses and sedges and fungi, lichen and others. Under fauna you'll find mammals, birds, salamanders, toads and frogs, turtles, lizards, snakes, fish, and mollusks. And then there are the insects - dragonflies and damselflies, grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets, roaches, mantids, and walkingsticks, true bugs, lacewings, antilions and others, beetles, butterflies and moths, sawflies, bees, wasps and ants, and spiders and other arthropods. Each entry includes a useful color photo, the scientific name, status, seasonality, a description, habitat and remarks which often include common names. The guide includes both native and non-native species though they are clearly distinguished. Naturalist's Austin is like having a stack of field guides consolidated into one book, Having the area covered in the guide limited to the Austin area makes identification much easier. So, if you're just getting started on identifying creatures and plants in your environment or you're an old hand and want to share your knowledge with others, this field guide is a great place to start.
