Apart from its use to entomologists, it will be of value to nature conservation officers, game rangers, fly anglers and anyone with an interest in natural history. This is the first comprehensive field guide to the insect fauna of South Africa, with detailed descriptions of over 1200 of the most common, most economically and ecologically important, and most interesting and attractive insects in the region. Each account covers identification, biology, distribution and related species, and is accompanied by a colour photograph. Given our spectacular insect fauna, this guide should enliven even the shortest walk next to the river. Many of the species described occur widely in the rest of Africa and further afield, making the book useful to professional and amateur entomologists world-wide. The easy-to-read text is matched with superb colour photography. Softcover, 444 pages, 21cm x 14cm.
Very good condition.
