This is an unabashedly idiosyncratic collection of some of the best books about the natural history of insects and about the personal experiences of the entomologists who work on them. These books emphasize the literary and human side of entomology. They are not highly technical, and would be good reading for backyard collectors as well as those with professional interests in entomology.
Books are alphabetical by author.
