This pocket-sized book is an introduction to around 240 of the most easily noticed British insects selected from a range of orders and families. Each species is divided into simple sections covering general information followed by its flight period, habitat and similar species. This easy-to-use book is as visually impressive as it is useful in the field, with many stunning full-page and double-page images supporting the authoritative text. The introduction covers the characteristics of an insect, where to find them as well as the conservation work in demand around the world.
