Zona Tropical Publications

This beautifully illustrated guide puts the focus on readily observable insects in a tropical forest in the Americas. In addition to descriptions of the principal insect families, there is a wealth of biological information that serves as an introduction to the natural history of insects and related classes. Sidebars on insect behavior and ecological factors enhance the descriptive accounts. Many photographs show insects in their natural settings. A final chapter investigates the intriguing world of spiders, scorpions, crabs, and other arthropods.

BUILDING IN
PEST EXCLUSION

using non-chemical pest barriers

<figure><img src="image_455.png" /></figure>

Think of the building envelope as the skin of the structure. Adding TERM™ Sustainable Pest Barriers to the building envelope can exclude virtually all pests from the structure. Permanently. The result is a drastic reduction in the need for pesticides for the life of the structure.
