Specimen ID in book question

[Richard Worth]

Hi Tom,
I have used the new book a fair amount and, while a fine book overall,  
I have found other errors of a similar nature as well.   And thanks  
for posting this for all to check.  As people work through this text  
it is good to post errors so others can correct their books too.  So  
with that, one more correction.  The images and text are switched for  
10.21 and 10.25.  This one stuck out to me because I know potato tuber  
worm well.
Thanks and cheers,  Rich
