Insects are a fascinating group, because of the huge biodiversity they present, and of their numerous remarkable adaptations to different habitats and life patterns. Of the various facets of insect life, some are discussed in Entomology classes and find place in text-books. But several aspects remain relatively ignored. This book touches some such aspects as are less talked about, and I hope that it will be a fruitful additional reading for entomology students, as is Norman’s “History of Fishes” for Ichthyology learners. At the same time, several chapters in the book are of popular interest, and will help dissemination of information about insects.
