Insects of South-Eastern Australia

Description

Insects of South-Eastern Australia – An ecological and behavioural guide

Every insect has characteristic feeding preferences and behaviours.  Insects of South-Eastern Australia is a unique field guide that uses host plants and behavioural attributes as the starting point for identifying insects.  Richly illustrated with colour photographs, the different species of insects found in Australia’s temperate south-east, including plant feeders, predators, parasites and decomposers, are presented.

The guide is complemented by an introduction to the insects of the region, including their environment, classification, life history, feeding strategies and behaviour.  Fascinating boxes on camouflage, mimicry and many other topics are also included throughout.
