Paperback. A new addition to our exciting series of concise field guides, this is the ultimate keep-in-your-pocket guide to Australian beetles.

For each species or family covered there is at least one photograph of an adult beetle for identification and a brief written account listing key ID features, ecology and behaviour. In many cases there are also additional images showing other important ID features or larvae.The easy-to-use layouts and small size make the book ideal for taking on days out or walks in the bush.
