Gardening/organic pest control. I would expect a lot more from a revised reprint. While it was well organized, fairly comprehensive, and contained some interesting facts (legless lizards are distinguishable from snakes by their moveable eyelids!), it was not all that helpful with diagnosis--only
Also, the book stated that the smallest lizard was a 3-inch-long gecko, and I believe it's a pygmy chameleon (tinier than your fingertip).

one small drawing of an adult specimen was given per pest and no pictures of what the damage might look like or what the bug looks like in its other stages (larvae, eggs, etc.). The remedies for controlling each pest were OK (I appreciate the warnings for the less-safe measures) but I feel like if I knew what the bug was I could easily look up natural remedies online anyway.Also, the book stated that the smallest lizard was a 3-inch-long gecko, and I believe it's a pygmy chameleon (tinier than your fingertip).
