This beautifully illustrated pocket field guide is packed with
information on the marvellous variety of insects that inhabits Britain
and the near Continent. It includes more than 180 species, including
dragonflies, bees, wasps, beetles, bugs and flies, all of which are
illustrated with superb full-colour artworks.
A concise written account covering size, description, habitat,
distribution, foodplants and habits appears on the same page as the
illustrations for each species. The easy-to-follow layouts and superb
artworks aid quick and accurate identification, and make this book an
indispensable reference in the field as well as at home.
It is compact enough to fit in the pocket, yet packed with essential
information for the nature enthusiast. To protect it against the
elements in the field, the book is wrapped in a durable plastic wallet.
Also included is a fold-out insert with at-a-glance illustrations
showing comparisons between similar species.
Renowned natural history artists Sandra Doyle and Stuart Carter painted
the illustrations.
