### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very good basic introduction to identifying insects
  

*by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2016*

This is a very good practical introduction to the major orders of insects, for people who don't have a strong background in advanced biology and don't want one.  It does not bog down on extensive keys within the orders, just gives key details about each order.I am volunteering in a university insect collection lab, and this book gives me the information I most need without bogging down in a lot of information I don't need.  It is however, a better resource for someone just learning to do insect identification in a university lab, than for instance the Peterson bug guides, which I found to be the next best option.I showed this book to the professor who runs the insect collection, and he said this is a good book.  He said that if all of his volunteers knew the contents of this book, he would be very happy.

    Essential Entomology,
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2009*

This text is an excellent assembly of the fundamentals of entomology and a worthy contribution to the field.  However, it is no Tripplehorn, the truly essential introductory entomology text.  It lacks an identification key, but provides a wealthh of order-level introductory information.  This book would serve as a good supplemental text.  A nice addition to a personal entomology library.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Text Book plan ahead!
  

*by M***I on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019*

It’s a standard text book (written in Canadian English)—you know Centre vs. Center. It took forever to come in. Order at least a month before you need it.
