Field guide to beetles of California by
Arthur V Evans(
)
11 editions published in 2006 in English and held by 1,177 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"With perhaps 8,000 different species, beetles are easily the largest group of animals in California. They can be found virtually everywhere in the state: grappling over flower heads, lurking in pantries, paddling through pristine mountain streams, and buzzing about porch lights on warm evenings. But until now, there was no single resource for identifying the most commonly encountered beetles in California's mountains, valleys, and deserts. This valuable field guide identifies more than 500 of the state's more conspicuous and colorful species. Species accounts include information on beetle identification, natural history, and distribution."--Jacket
