Summary

Insectopedia reveals the magic and rich diversity of the world of insects. It explores their fascinating behaviour and biology – from mating and breeding, metamorphosis and movement to vision, smell, hearing and their adaptations to heat and cold. A chapter on superorganisms explores the remarkable phenomenon of social communities; another covers the critical role these creatures play in maintaining the delicate balance of life on our planet. The book concludes with a 60-page illustrated field guide describing most insect orders and their major families. Previously published as Insectopedia of Southern Africa, the new edition has now been thoroughly revised and redesigned, with the latest information, an expanded ID section and several hundred new photographs.
