Book summary

Media reviews

"A tremendously good read, packed with information that will appeal equally to biologists and laypersons, students, and teachers....Newcomers will be fascinated and intrigued. For old hands at the game, this kind of book reminds us of why we took up entomology in the first place and still find the subject so engrossing."
