Xerces Society's 100 Plants to Feed the Bees

Easily my favorite field guide ever made, this book is a must have. It has a design that invites you to look through the book. It has regional guides, sun and soil requirements, height and an icon key for pollinators as well as basic information for each plant.

National Wildlife Federation's Field Guide to Insects and Spiders of North America

NFW's field guides feature, on average, just three species per page. Some include various life cycles of the species, which is not something many guides do and can be incredibly helpful. All images are photographs and have tips for telling one species apart from another.
