Summary

Given the extraordinary number and diversity of insect species and their vast importance to human life, it comes as a surprise that there is no reasonably comprehensive field guide on insects in South Africa. The need for a more detailed and accessible field guide to the rich insect life of South Africa has long been recognized. This comprehensive, illustrated popular guide draws not only on the accumulated knowledge of the authors, but also on that of numerous specialists on the various insect groups. It will succeed, hopefully, in opening up the fascinating life of insects to a wide range of students, gardeners, farmers, conservationists and anyone wanting to find out more about these tiny creatures that intrigue and irritate, benefit and damage us in seemingly equal measure.
