Aimed at students of general entomology and insect taxonomy, this atlas and guide illustrates the structural characteristics and anatomical features of the major insect families and arthropod groups discussed in entomology courses. In addition to photographic coverage of approximately 190 arthropod taxa, explanations and illustrations of external anatomy and insect development are also provided. Dichotomous keys to the family level are also included for the major orders, as well as a glossary of specialised terms.
