A clear, colorfully illustrated guide to the spiders, mites, centipedes, beetles, mosquitoes, fleas, wasps, ants, and other critters that can plague people in Hawai'i and similar environments. Includes information on the history, life cycle, structure, and venoms and toxins known for each pest species. Travel agents might make you pay for your ticket before looking at pictures of, for example, bed bugs feeding on a bed inhabitant, but knowledge of which pests are nuisances and which are really dangerous is invaluable.

What Bit Me?: Identifying Hawai'I's Stinging and Biting Insects and Their Kin

Tenorio, JoAnn M.

Univ of Hawaii Pr

The authors of the popular and informative What Bit Me? Identifying Hawaii's Stinging and Biting Insects and their Kin answer these and other questions in this long-awaited standard reference on Hawaii's household "bugs." What's Bugging Me? helps you identify those ants, spiders, termites, beetles, silverfish, and cockroaches that invade your home and offers effective strategies for dealing with them. A range of anti-pest weapons--not just chemicals--is given, emphasizing a modern "integrated control" approach. What's Bugging Me? teaches techniques for prevention, early detection, and monitoring of pest problems. It recommends specific methods that target the pest, not methods that merely poison the environment. Many inexpensive home remedies are suggested. In every-day language accessible to homeowners and apartment dwellers, the authors provide a wealth of authoritative information that will also benefit pest control operators, landscapers, builders, and entomology professionals.

Completely rewritten, this second edition includes a list of all 210 countries of the world and all of the islands, with comments on the existence of insect and spider collections, both public and private. These listings are arranged alphabetically by country, state/province, and city, with private collections listed under the public collection with which they are registered. Part II of the directory is an alphabetical list of the codes assigned to each of the collections described in Part I. This list is also cross-referenced to variations of the codes used in other works, which will eliminate any confusion over this duplication. This classic work provides a ready reference to all collections and is required by all insect and spider systematists.
