Description

This colorful guide features 500 insects from all major orders, in a variety of climates and habitats. Professor Stephen Marshall has selected some of his most interesting photographs taken in North and South America, the Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand that show the insect in its natural environment. Informative captions provide details and insights into the lives of these fascinating creatures. Different stages of development, males and females of the species, and characteristic behaviors are often shown. Some of the insects here are of new species photographed for the first time. This book is the perfect introduction to the amazing world of insects in all their diversity for non-experts and a useful resource for entomologists.
