Description

Beetles are arguably the most diverse organisms in the world. With nearly half a million species described and catalogued, they surpass any other type of living thing in terms of diversity. This remarkable variety is reflected in their shape, form, size, life history, ecology, physiology, and behaviour. Despite being ubiquitous and familiar to many, beetles are often misunderstood as a difficult group to study. However, with the traditional routes into natural history now extending to include dragonflies, bumblebees, grasshoppers, moths, hoverflies, and shieldbugs, this perception is beginning to change. The Coleoptera remains a fascinating subject that continues to captivate entomologists and enthusiasts alike. Hardcover, 480 pages.
