About this product
Product Information
Fascinating insects from around the world, including some newly discovered species. From the Introduction Insect diversity, especially the almost untapped diversity of little-studied insects, should be seen as a rich ore... to be mined for generations to come. Insects account for more than half of the approximately 1.7 million named species of all living things. The number of insect species yet undiscovered runs into many further millions. Stephen Marshall has selected 500 of the most interesting insects from his travels to North and South America, the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand and beyond. Beautiful photographs show the insects in their natural habitats, and informative factfiles provide further details about the lives of these fascinating creatures. Some of the insects are new species, photographed here for the first time. In addition to the entries for each of the species, there is an introduction on insect biology, classification and distribution, along with information on collecting and photographing insects.

Nevertheless, the vivid photographic detail is essential to the book's scientific value: nothing is lost in creative translation.... Highly recommended for entomology collections., Designed primarily to highlight the magnificence of insect diversity...this compact volume presents 500 vivid, close-up photographs of insects., Designed primarily to highlight the magnificence of insect diversity rather than to serve as an identification guide, this compact volume presents 500 vivid, close-up photographs of insects., The quality of the photographs makes this volume a stunning work. The author selected 500 insects from his studies and travels around the planet. Each is presented in a high-quality, full-color, magnified image. These are single-page entries with accompanying information of approximately 100 words or less. The book restricts itself to the class Insecta. The entries are arranged by Insecta's scientific orders. Generic and species names are given in italics.... The eight-page introduction gives information on insect distribution, basic insect biology, collecting and photographing insects, insect structure, and taxonomic names. A small glossary and resources for further research and reading are provided. An index completes the volume. School and public libraries as well as individuals with entomology collections will find the book a welcome addition., Terrific... The photos are a pleasure to look at, and the small amount of information given with each adds up to a lot of painless learning. There is a lovely contemplative quality to this work... This would be a great book to have in any elementary school classroom and in any biology or entomology library. It is a good book to buy for the budding young naturalist in your life. It also is an excellent reference work and could be inspiration for artists.
