Beginning with a brief history of the study of insects, the enormous biological class that boasts more species than any other class of animals, the comprehensive introduction is superbly illustrated with diagrams, line drawings, charts, and photographs, and answers such questions as: What is an insect? How many insects are found on this continent? What types of social structures do insects adopt? It explains the anatomy and behavior of these amazingly diverse creatures, describing such fascinating phenomena as mimicry and protective coloration, and the delicate relationship~sometimes beneficial, sometimes harmful ~ among insects and plants, animals, and humans. It also discusses how to control harmful species, where to find insects for your collection, and the easiest, most efficient manner in which to collect, preserve, and mount specimens. An illustrated table serves as a very convenient cross~reference guide to a detailed breakdown of the insect orders and the corresponding entries. Stunningly complemented by at least one full~color photograph, each entry contains information about the habitat, distribution, length, recognition marks, and other pertinent details concerning the habits and biology of the particular species. Both the scientific and common name of the species, as well as the family and order to which it belongs, are listed. A three~part visual key in the margin provides instantaneous identification of the insect's primary activity, its habitat, and the ecological impact it has on our environment. The entries are divided into four chapters, based on the evolutionary development of this class. A glossary and index add to the value of the book as an important reference tool. Whether you are a beginning or experienced collector, a biology student or researcher. an apartment dwellef or homeowner trying to identify an insect intruder, an outdoors enthusiast, a farmer, or simply a~ weekend gardener. Simon & Schuster's Guide to Insects is a highly authoritative, startlingly beautiful book about this very intriguing subject.
