There's a lot to be said for taking invertebrates slowly ... It's not easy to pin many of them down to species even when you've had experience. But it's a good thing to make a start on identifying them to order ... family &c. There used to be a Collins pocket book that was useful for this ... Learn how to tell a beetle from a bug; then a ground beetle from a leaf beetle &c &c...
Yes Rose is a good starter book for flowers - lot's of them around in charity shops, I find. In fact I gave one to Oxfam a couple of weeks back .... might have offered it, I suppose ....
