This was recommended from my teacher for the entomology exam and it worked for the purpose. I found it clear nonetheless.

Entomoloji hakkında üniversitede ders kitabı olarak okutulacak kadar ayrıntılı bilgiler içeren bir kitap. Böceklere merakı olan herkesin elinin altında bulunması gerekiyor.

Exactly what I wanted, which is a broad description of insects in general, going deep into the body parts.
The book covers the entire spectrum of insects forms and environments, with lots of diagrams showing the working parts, and brief explanations on how they work.
The diagrams are easy to view, and when a picture shows a particular insect, you can identify the species. But the purpose of the writing is focused on understanding where the body parts are and what they do.

This will be one of the few science books I have abandoned. Very complicated book for an entomology novice. I found myself looking up every other word, which took away from the flow of the book. Perhaps a list of terms at the beginning of each chapter would have helped. However, the illustrations were very helpful. I learned a lot, just not as much as I could have, had the flow been better.

Almost no pictures, only drawings to illustrate. Boooooooo.
