This volume deals with the natural history of British insects, and introduces the reader to some of the latest discoveries and ideas about them. The author has brought together within convenient compass a large amount of scientific knowledge, often of absorbing interest; and he describes many of the remarkable features associated with the lives of insects. Only limited treatment is given to butterflies and moths, since there are several excellent books on these insects that are readily accessible, including Dr. Ford's volume on Butterflies in the New Naturalist. When it comes to other insects, beetles, two-winged flies, plant bugs, bees, lacewings and the like, it is much less easy to find out much about them. Books on such insects are few and far between, and most of them are rather technical in character. An increasing number of people are interested in the insects of our countryside, and this book is intended to fill at least some of their needs. It will increase their pleasure in observing the creatures with which it deals and may, perhaps, induce some of its readers to become independent observers. There is a great field to be explored by anyone who is Drawn to look beneath the mere surface and study in detail any of the very commonest of our insects, no matter to what groups the latter may belong. One of the special features of the book is the large number of color photographs of different aspects of insect life. Almost all of these were taken by Mr. Beaufoy from the living insects. Mr. Beaufoy is an outstanding expert in nature photography. There are forty colored plates, of which only seven were taken from dead and 'set' specimens. The author is well known in the world of biologists. Until recently he held the important post of Reader in Entomology at Cambridge. He has written several leading textbooks on entomology.
