&"On a sunny day during a January thaw...I lifted up a rock and found beneath it a gem...its elytra resplendent with green and violet iridescence.&" - Roger Tory Peterson
Of the approximately 1,000,000 known species of animals on earth, about three-quarters or 750,000 are insects. Of these, perhaps two-fifths or 300,000 are Coleoptera beetles!
Let this guide take you on a magical mystery tour through the processes of observing, identifying, collecting and preserving one of nature's most successful designs. In-depth essays examine the structure of beetles, stages of growth and development, how they are classified and named, and similar insects.
Over 600 drawings and 65 color paintings portray representative species of the 111 families of North American beetles. Glossary, annotated bibliography, index. 368 pp., softcover.
