A visual guide to the natural science of insects which includes information on the ten most common orders, pollination, and life-cycles; also works as a field guide.

Great first section on distinguishing types of insects, but the field guide part is too broad and includes too many ranges to actually be useful in identifying insects (for example, insects only found in the pacific northwest and insects only found east of the rockies are included). It looks pretty, though, with lots of full color photographs.
