Does anyone have a link, or PDF, to something more extensive?
If not, maybe just share your favorite field guide :-) I’m sure a lot of New Englanders are here in the forum, and would like to see what you use to help ID when you’re out in the field.
I use both “Spiders of the Eastern United States: a Photographic Guide” (Howell & Jenkins) and “How to Know the Spiders” (Kaston). But, just getting into spiders, & have no idea what others think of these books.
@mira_l_b I did, thank you. Yeah, after I made this post, I saw that thread. Thought about deleting/consolidating, but that other thread while cool, didn’t have anything spider related, and by making a new post I was hoping to catch the eye of any experts in entomology who might see my new thread.
That being said, I def gleaned a lot of great book suggestions from that field guide thread -very cool.
Thanks for the link :-)
@friel I love it, I downloaded a copy this afternoon an poured over it - a very fine tome! It was very helpful, the color plates were just what I needed and it helped me visualize the differences in the thin-legged wolf family. Super cool book, thanks :-)
