Review: Back when I first began my fascination with insects, I picked up a copy of this book hoping it would help me with a project. I was impressed with the way it presents information order by order in true entomologist fashion. The pictures are great and the text informative. I would recommend this book to anyone who is just beginning in entomology and is looking for a great overview of insects and their lives.

Summary: This book is the only one of it's kind
Review: I've looked for years for a single tome on entomology which is more than a research paper; one which has images, detailed text, and soul. This book has it all. Universes to explore inside.

Summary: If you know a beetle's not a bee...you've outgrown this one
Review: The book may be useful for an extreme novice in bug collection and identification, or for helping youngsters. It superficially treats any given group of insects, with less detail than I had anticipated. Most of the insects illustrated are foreign, which was disappointing. This is a book that will sit on the shelf until I decide which nephew to give it to.

Summary: The Practical Entomologist
Review: This book was the first one I ever bought and it was very helpful.It is just loaded with useful information, and helpful diagrams. However, if you like hands on experiences, its loaded with all kinds of easy to do experiments that are fun and educational. However, due to the amount of scientific words and phrases, I would not recommend this book to children under seven.

Summary: wonderful book for any age
Review: This is the best of inumerable books I reviewed in helping my kids with their science projects and with their insect collections. There are many easy to perform experiments, a great section on collecting, and a well written text on the subject of entomology.
