About this title

Synopsis

Master the language and structure of insect anatomy with a clear, lab-ready guide. This edition presents terminology, orientation, and study methods essential for students in entomology labs, with detailed focus on external anatomy and comparative anatomy across beetles and other orders.

Structured to support hands-on learning, the book explains position and direction terms, demonstrates how to describe body parts, and guides students through careful observation, drawing, and practical examination of specimens. It also covers wing venation and the preparation of wings for microscopic study, making it a valuable reference for building accurate observational skills in the field and the lab.

Clear definitions of positional terms and six cardinal directions to standardize lab descriptions.

Detailed treatment of the head, mouthparts, and other external features of beetles, with emphasis on recognizable sclerites and landmarks.

Guidance on wing venation, measurement, and preparation techniques for accurate study and display.

Illustrative prompts and notes that support drawing, labeling, and comparison across insect groups.

Ideal for students and educators seeking a practical, example-driven introduction to insect anatomy and comparative structure.
