The definitive photographic guide to Britain and Western Europe's
orthopterans, complete with a CD of sounds.
This beautifully presented field guide, containing more than 1200
illustrations, covers the 261 grasshoppers (and their allies) of Britain
and Western Europe. All of the main species and sub-species are
included, and they are accompanied by photographs of both male and
female, distribution maps, statuses, habitat descriptions, advice on
when to find them, and tips to avoid confusion during the process of
identification.
Comprehensive general chapters also cover morphology, ecology and
habitat, and assist with research in the field. Set out in a clear and
accessible format, the layout allows for easy identification.
Together with 155 oscillograms and a CD of 222 sounds, this book is set
to be the definitive guide to the orthoptera of Britain and Western
Europe.
