This encyclopedia describes the habitats, characteristics, appearance, lifespan and behaviour of mayflies, dragonflies, cockroaches, termites, crickets, grasshoppers, lice, fleas, flies, moths, butterflies, wasps, ants and bees. It also includes arachnids such as scorpions, ticks, and spiders.
It was written thoroughly in a way that intelligent people can understand. It included multiple genre of insects, including families as well. The best part about it is that the actual insects were focused on in a neutral perspective, something rare in American literature. This is a must-read for those without severe insectophobia.
