An Introduction to Australian Insects

How often have you encountered a caterpillar, moth or bug, marvelled at its beauty and microscopic complexity, and then been frustrated because you were unable to identify it or find out more about it?

Australian Insects, written by two outstanding experts, provides the answers to your questions. Phil Hadlington and Judy Johnston, both university trained, have produced a book especially for the person with little or no formal training in insect identification, yet contains sufficient detail and scientific information to more than satisfy the budding naturalist and student of entomology.

At the same time, by including 16 pages of superb original colour photographs and a multitude of black and white illustrations, the authors have recognized that for identification purposes one picture is worth a thousand words.

The book, of course, covers more than simple identification. It deals with insect structures and the way in which they work, it describes insect orders and a selection of representative families, and uses both common and scientific names for easy reference.

Much more than a collection of photographs, Australian Insects is an outstanding reference tool for anyone curious about, and interested in the fascinating world of insects.
