Desert Critters: Plants and Animals of the Southwest (Pocket Nature Guide Series)

This guide to the plants, animals and some insects of the desert southwest will aid in identification and appreciation of the myriad species that live in this beautiful part of the country.

Reminiscent of nineteenth-century botanical prints, the full-color illustrations in this small nature guide are miniature watercolors, as delightful to look at as they are accurate. With each illustration the reader will find the popular and scientific names, size, range, and a concise description of the habitat or an interesting bit of lore. Ideal for the backpacker or dayhiker, the book fits handily in the pocket.
