Synopsis

A clear, scientific guide to the world of insects, from basic body plans to how they live and grow.



This edition presents the introduction and core ideas of entomology, showing what the science studies and why it matters. It outlines how insects are structured, how they become what they are, and how scientists classify and study their diversity with a practical, workmanlike approach.



Readers will explore the key divisions of entomology, including terminology, anatomy, physiology, and taxonomy. The text also explains the two broad parts of the field—general natural history and the systematic description of insect life—so you can understand both the big picture and the details that distinguish groups and species.




  • Clear definitions of entomology and its scope within natural history

  • Foundational concepts: orismology, anatomy (entomotomy), physiology, and taxonomy

  • Discussion of metamorphosis, body structure, and how form relates to function

  • How scholars organize and compare the insect world across orders and families



Ideal for students studying biology or anyone curious about insects and their place in nature.
