Without insects, fruits and vegetables wouldn't grow. And many species that depend on insects as a food source wouldn't exist. Insects may be tiny in size, but in population they outnumber humans.
Few topics are of such interest to students as insects are.
Each year, dozens of new books are published on the subject. Each guide is designed to fit in the pocket of a field vest, to be used as a handy reference for identifying nature in its natural surroundings. The guide includes 50 photo spreads. In addition, each spread includes two or three more photos of creatures with which the insect might be confused or with which it might share common features. For beginning buggers, this thorough field guide offers much more.
