Struik Pocket Guide: Insects of Southern Africa (Struik Pocket Guides)

By means of a clear text and full-colour illustrations, this pocket guide examines our commonly seen insects, and details their life cycles, habits and habitats. The world of insects is stunning in its diversity - more than 100,000 species occur in Southern Africa alone. The examples described in this guide are species from the most commonly seen groups. The illustrations and text will promote a greater awareness and understanding of the smaller "game", the insects that share our world.
