Overview

This is the ultimate keep-in-your-pocket guide to Australian beetles. It may be diminutive in size but it punches well above its weight in terms of usefulness, being packed with more than 200 images covering many of the species and families most likely to be encountered in Australia. The book includes all of the most common and widespread beetles likely to be encountered in Australia, including various stag beetles, ladybirds, longicorn beetles, weevils, flower beetles and many more. For each species or family covered there is at least one photograph of an adult beetle for identification and a brief written account listing key ID features, ecology and behaviour. In many cases there are also additional images showing other important ID features or larvae.The easy-to-use layouts and small size make the book ideal for taking on days out or walks in the bush. It is perfect for beginners or wildlife-watchers of an intermediate level, and also for children as a first book on Australian beetles.
