"Winner of the National Outdoor Book Award in Nature
Guidebooks"
"This is a beautiful book, big enough to include multiple
photographs of all the known, and until recently, a few unknown
flower flies, yet small enough to be carried into the field in a
largish pocket or small satchel."---Randy Lauff, The Canadian
Field-Naturalist
"This is an excellent work resulting from considerable effort on
the part of all the authors, supported by the contributions of
numerous photographers. As the first popular treatment of any
family of North American Diptera, it has set a remarkably high
standard to follow. It should encourage interest there in Syrphidae
and in Diptera in general."---Peter Chandler, Entomologist's
Gazette
"This book should certainly increase popular interest in these most
beautiful and biologically significant flies in the study area
covered, and hopefully even further afield. . . . The book promises
to be very useful for specialists as well as general naturalists,
especially for those involved in education and
conservation."---Andrew Wakeham-Dawson, Entomologist's Monthly
Magazine
