Shieldbugs

by Richard Jones

The shieldbug is an amazing and beautiful species, rich with diversity in shape, form, size, life history, ecology, physiology and behaviour. But they are not commonly known, outside of specialist circles. Richard Jones’ groundbreaking New Naturalist volume on shieldbugs encourages those enthusiasts who would otherwise be put off by the, to date, rather technical literature that has dominated the field, providing a comprehensive natural history of this fascinating and beautiful group of insects.

As someone who has wanted to explore entomology but felt instantly overwhelmed, this is a fantastic book, which caters for all levels. I thoroughly enjoyed Richard’s light hearted, entertaining and humorous narrative. Highly recommend this book to any budding naturalist.
