4 out of 5 stars Exciting composition of insects to!   July 30, 2006
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I found this book was indeed a 'unique photographic guide' as the layout was like an art piece in its self! - Clever chaotic but clear format of insects over each page with descriptions of each next to it's photo(s). Details include life cycle info, physical features, order & family, size, feeding and tries to include info of how many other similar types there are of each (obviously the book can't include all our insects!!). The book groups the insects so you can compare, it has quite a lot of general bug type, life cycles, Hqbitat& handling info at the front plus a guide to the book layout Roughly 10cm X 19cm.

Overall a fun book but I found it a bit strange as a guide, maybe great for a child to catch the 'bug' for bug-studying!? - I take my hat off to anyone who has a go at composing an Insect guide though!!



1 out of 5 stars There are better books about than this!   July 18, 2005

Don't buy it. Simple as that. Contains relatively few species and is dominated by non-UK inects. Shops around for something better.
