Insects are the forgotten members of Australia's rich and diverse fauna. Few people can recognise more than a few common groups and species, yet there are more insect species that all other animals put together. Insects are the most diverse animals in terrestrial and freshwater communities, Name that Insect is the first guide to identifying the insedcts of southeastern Australia an area that supports a particularly significant insect fauna - highly characteristic of the region. There are extensive notes on the structurem recognition and biology of all the insect orders in the region. These emphasise the principle of identification through examples for all major groups. The book also contains several hundred original line drawings of whole insects and diagnostic features. This essential visual guide to the insect families is complemented by a formal key for identifying the different orders.
